2. Once squash is softened and cooled, cut off the stem and slice it lengthwise down the center.
3. Peel each half using a vegetable peeler or knife.
4. Scoop out seeds and pulp.
5. Cut into cubes, place on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
6. Roast at 400° for 15 minutes or until tender.
