- With the flat end of the squash on your cutting board, remove the peel with your knife, starting at the top and slicing down all the way around the squash. Be sure to remove any green parts. Repeat for the other section of the squash. You’ll be left with the two sections of the squash peeled.

- Remove the seeds with a spoon.
- Then, cut each section into quarters.
- Chop into 1-inch cubes. Toss in olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
