I made it for dinner last night but added some garbanzo beans and turkey sausage. Then ate it for lunch today. And will eat it again tomorrow. The only thing I will do differently next time is not allow it to explode in the microwave :( This was delicious. I made it for dinner last night but added some garbanzo beans and turkey sausage.

Delicious! As noted by another commenter, my squash took MUCH longer to roast than 40 minutes. He was a bit of a big boy, but I think my main problem was that I followed the photos and not the written instructions so I put the squash halves in the pan cut-side up. When I realized my error, I flipped them and 20 minutes later they were done to perfection. I think there is some steaming action that happens when they are cut-side down. I look forward to making this frequently! Thank you. Made this today for a late lunch during the big snowstorm in the NE. Delicious!

I just had this for dinner and it was great. I added a few cashew pieces and a splash of lemon juice, which I think complemented the flavors quite well. Yum!

Once for myself and my husband, with all the ingredients actually listed in the recipe. And once without any butter and about half the spices for my parents (at their house). It was AMAZING the first time. It was really good the second time too - I substituted for the spices as best I could - although I def. recommend sticking to the recipe. I switched out the butter for just two tablespoons of olive oil and since I don't normally cook with butter, I think I'll do that at my own house next time too. Thanks for sharing your recipes. It all looks so delicious, and I've got a list as long as my arm that I want to try. I made this squash recipe twice last week.

I love that I can make it in the microwave so I can eat yummy and healthy food when I go away to college! It was super quick and I was practically drooling as I was eating it.

I just made this for dinner, and it was wonderful--so flavorful. I too do not like sweet vegetables made even sweeter--I prefer them more savory. ( I love roasted sweet potato fries with plenty of salt and pepper!) This recipe came together super-quick, and cooking the squash in the microwave was great. I inadvertently made it a Smitten Kitchen night, as I am now finishing off the vanilla roasted pears I made from this site two nights ago. (Also really great!) Reading your stuff is such a treat, and you do have one of the cutest babies on Earth! Oh, this is squash is fabulous! I just made this for dinner, and it was wonderful–so flavorful.
