Bake 30-45 minutes or until a fork easily pierces the skin. Remove from oven, put butter and optional maple syrup into cavity and serve.

Storage tips: Winter Squash wants to be between 55-65 degrees. It stores best in a cool dry
room in your house and should last at least into November and can last much longer depending
on conditions.
How to eat: Basic winter squash preparation includes roasting. Heat oven to 350 degrees, cut
squash in half, scoop out seeds and place face down on baking sheet or dish. Add ½ inch of
water to the pan and roast for 45 minutes or until a fork pierces easily through the skin. We
enjoy using winter squash in soups and as a side dish
