MICROWAVE ACORN SQUASH



Microwave Acorn Squash image

Just microwave! You don't have to use the oven. You can just do one acorn squash instead of two, if you choose. Pricking all over, then putting in the microwave for a few minutes to soften a little, makes it easier to cut.

Microwave Spaghetti Squash image

Microwaving spaghetti squash is much easier and quicker than waiting for it to roast in the oven. Once done, it is ready to be topped with your favorite ingredients, or kept simple with just a pat of butter and some salt. For longer strands, cut the squash crosswise instead of lengthwise.

Provided by France C

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 (3 pound) spaghetti squash
1 cup water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Carefully cut stem end off the spaghetti squash. Poke a few small slits in the squash in a dotted line where you plan to slice the squash. Carefully cut between the slits until the squash is cut in half. Scoop out seeds and pulp.
  • Place squash in a 9x13-inch microwave-safe dish, cut-side down. Pour water into the dish so it is at least 1/2 inch deep.
  • Microwave on high power until skin is soft and can be pierced with a fork, 12 to 15 minutes. If dish is too big to rotate, turn off the turntable and rotate dish halfway through.
