Instructions

- You can peel but I'm finding the skin to soften and add a nice texture to dishes like this. I also like to vary the size a little. It makes a more rustic dish with some ending up over done and some slightly under.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Add the cut squash and a sprinkle of salt.Non-stick cooking spray, Kosher Salt
