How to Cook Oven Roasted Squash
Ingredients
Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full listing of ingredients, instructions, notes, and estimated nutritional information.
- Squash – about 2 pounds of fresh squash
- Olive oil – enhances the flavor of the squash
- Stone House Seasoning – my favorite house seasoning blend of salt, pepper, and granulated garlic. I love to keep it on hand to flavor dishes. You can also substitute with salt and black pepper.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Prepare. Clean the squash well. Slice the squash lengthwise in a uniform thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Add olive oil. Place the squash slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
Season the squash. Sprinkle with Stone House Seasoning or just use salt and pepper.
Cook. Place in oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until tender.
Serve. Once squash is done, remove from oven and serve warm.

To make ahead. Cook and cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat and serve.
To freeze. Cool and cool. Store in airtight freezer-safe containers for up to 6 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight, reheat, and serve. Note that the texture of the squash may be softer after being frozen.
