Ingredients:

  • 1 large lemon, juiced
  • 3 lbs butternut squash , split lengthwise with a sharp, heavy cuphef's knife, the seeds and fibrous cupenter scooped out of the cup

Directions:

  1. Mix chili powder and lemon juice together in small bowl. Place the squash in a very large microwave-safe bowl and pour the spicy lemon juice over it. Toss to coat cubes evenly. Push cubes toward the sides of the bowl so that they cook evenly.
  2. Cover and microwave on high (100%) for 14 minutes. The squash is done when the tip of a small sharp knife or toothpick slides through a few of the cubes easily. Until done, re-cover and microwave at 2 minute intervals.
  3. If serving hot, scoop onto plate with a large serving spoon and serve immediately. If serving cold, refrigerate until cool.
