Under baked+ budget cooking+ sides+ squash
If you like baked potatoes in the microwave, try a baked squash!
Rate this recipe and see reviews here!
Ingredients
Squash
Butter
Chives
Pepper
Garlic Salt
Directions
Just like a potato, pierce the skin of the squash with a fork or knife to well ventilate. Put on a plate and microwave on high according to the size of the squash, turning over about every 2-3 minutes. (I used a small butternut squash and it took about 7 1/2 minutes to fully cook. Add more time for larger squash.)
