Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Slice squash in half and scoop out seeds. Place face down in a large baking dish and add about ½ inch of water.

Bake for 30-45 minutes (depending on size of the squash) until the skin is easy to pierce with a fork and the flesh is soft.

Remove from oven and scoop out the flesh of the squash.

Place in bowl and add coconut oil/butter and salt.

Serve as you would mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes and enjoy!
