Notes
- Serving size is an estimate and will vary with substitutions.
- Serving size is for 3/4 cup which is about 114 grams.
- Squash can be difficult to peel. Use a potato peeler to peel of the tough skin to make it easier to cut into.
- Turn squash halfway through to ensure an even cook. If you have a larger squash, you may need to cook in two batches.
