- 1 tablespoon olive oil

1. Preheat your oven at 400°F, peel squash and cut in half lengthwise. Place squash on a sheet pan, drizzle with the olive oil and rub with salt and pepper, and roast for 45 minutes to an hour. Remove squash from the oven. Allow squash to cool and cut into a small ½ inch dice.
