The stiffness on your hands is because the skin of the squash is caustic to some - my hands actually start pealing and for some it burns, so I use an old plastic bag over my hand to touch the squash.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-54935452290146205572013-09-15T15:45:12.960-05:002013-09-15T15:45:12.960-05:00I made this and loved the combination...I did spri...I made this and loved the combination...I did sprinkle a little sweet smoked paprika on them with the sea salt and fresh ground pepper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-88179207275957335862013-03-02T23:35:51.870-06:002013-03-02T23:35:51.870-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-56371292063500436422013-03-01T11:54:51.342-06:002013-03-01T11:54:51.342-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-60249662988593276232013-02-27T08:25:46.865-06:002013-02-27T08:25:46.865-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-29476475871398127162013-02-25T16:10:41.964-06:002013-02-25T16:10:41.964-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-40004909455077459052013-02-18T22:26:34.654-06:002013-02-18T22:26:34.654-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-80759599732478523362013-02-15T17:04:36.063-06:002013-02-15T17:04:36.063-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-34832563441643060832013-02-13T19:31:03.739-06:002013-02-13T19:31:03.739-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-1314617514181527522013-02-13T12:36:05.628-06:002013-02-13T12:36:05.628-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-38989413136390492112013-02-13T08:53:05.356-06:002013-02-13T08:53:05.356-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-14466490650030284972013-02-12T16:18:33.489-06:002013-02-12T16:18:33.489-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-32137243171492426962013-02-12T02:06:15.613-06:002013-02-12T02:06:15.613-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-25457184113845134852013-02-11T21:54:03.610-06:002013-02-11T21:54:03.610-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-1237989491438489112013-02-10T06:16:39.788-06:002013-02-10T06:16:39.788-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-46875405384583139862012-09-26T17:08:18.641-05:002012-09-26T17:08:18.641-05:00Excellent tips here!

Just wanted to add, I like to dice up sweet potatoes, and mix it with the squash (instead of apples and onions, although i'm eager to try that option now too!). Toss the potatoes and squash in a ziploc bag with olive oil, salt and pepper, and some cinnamon and sugar, then bake.

I usually boil them in heavily salted water, then toast on a baking sheet till they start "popping".
