Ingredients
1
Begin by scrubbing the exterior of the squash as much as possible, since you'll be eating the skin as well. Cut the ends off of both sides so you have flat surface to work with. Use a large sharpened knife and cut it down the middle lengthwise. With a spoon, scrape out the seeds and fibrous strands attached to the seeds. Cut the halves into half moon shapes that are about ¼" to ½" thick.

Lay the half moons on 2 metal baking sheets and drizzle 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper per sheet. Toss the squash to ensure it is fully coated and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes on one side. Remove from the oven and flip each slice. Roast for an additional 15 minutes.
