4 pounds

servings

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Mince garlic and ginger root very fine. Add orange zest and parsley and continue chopping until parsley is minced.

Toss squash with oil, and salt and pepper to taste, and spread it in a layer in a 13 x 9 x 2" glass baking dish. Sprinkle with parsley mixture. Cover with foil.

Bake squash until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil about halfway through the cooking to allow the squash to caramelize a bit.  (Recipe♦161)
