Bonberi-Squash-3-ways-4014ONE OF MY FAVORITE WAYS TO ENTERTAIN IS TO SIMPLY ROAST SQUASH AND PERK IT UP WITH FUN SAUCES! When having guests over, I’ll arrange the roasted squash on a large wooden board with sauces to pick and choose from. See below for my favorites.

FOR THE SQUASH…

Kabocha squash

Preheat oven to 400. Using a sharp knife and a flat surface, cut kabocha squash in half. On a parchment lined baking sheet, place the squash face down and roast for about 30 minutes until skin is tender and easily poked through with a fork. Flip and let cool.

Delicata squash

Slice squash lengthwise in half and scoop out seeds. Then slice into halves (will look like crescent moons), about 1/2 inch thick. Coat with 1-2 tablespoons of avocado oil.
