I cut them in half to clean out the seed cavity, then slice them into wedges, coat in oil, add a sprinkle of salt and mild chilli and roast as you would potatoes. If they have been stored for a long while and the skins have gone hard, you may need to peel them first.

Another way is to cut them in half, deseed and fill with part-cooked rice, grated cheese and chopped onion, finish with some more grated cheese on top. Bake until the flesh is soft.

Does look a difficult one being an acorn type squash.

My new method is to cut into little bricks. Cut level the inner curve so that the bricks sit flat in the oven tray.

1 hour at 180 then use scissors to cut around where skin meets flesh. The skin just peels off then and add to soups as thickener.

Works for me
