Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step 2

Roast the squash until the spears and garlic start to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Check the squash after 5 minutes, and add time in 2- to 3-minute intervals to avoid burning.

Step 3

Trim ends from squash and cut each squash in half lengthwise. Cut the halves in half again crosswise, to make 4 pieces; cut those pieces in half twice more the long way, to make 16 short spears from each squash.

Step 4

Place squash spears in a large bowl. Add olive oil and garlic; toss squash to coat. Arrange ssquash in a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
