Roasted Kabocha OR Delicata Squash (Green)

I prefer to prep a lot of  Kabocha Or Delicata Squash, then freeze them in Foodsaver packets OR Ziploc Freezer bags in labeled servings. This makes it easier to measure out later. All work and clean up is done on one day. What is Kabocha Squash? It is an Asian Winter Squash that is starting to make its way to regular wholefoods and grocery stores, as well as, department stores like Walmart.

Kabocha Squash OR   
Delicata Squash --each 1/2 cup Counts as 1 Green on the higher carb  veggie option .
 *I prefer to prep a lot of  Kabocha Squash and freeze in Food saver packets OR Ziploc Freezer bags in labeled servings. This makes it easier to measure out later. All the work is done on one day. 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
Cut Squash into wedges. Microwave for 5 minutes to soften. Peel then cut the squash into cubes. Place the pieces on a baking sheet lined with Parchment Paper. Spray non-stick cooking spray on the squash. I used Pam non-stick cooking spray, but whatever kind will do. Roast the squash for about 30 minutes and then flip the squash over and roast for another 15 minutes or until softened. Let cool.
(Option 2: Cut Squash into 4 wedges, then cut those wedges in half. Spritz pieces with Pam. Roast as above. Let cool then peel and cube
This is the easiest way if you don't want to take the time to cut all the peel off beforehand.)
Then you can use the 1/2 cup portions (1 Green) to season for your meal however you desire.
*As Pictured I seasoned with 1/2 teaspoon of my Low Sodium Homemade Ranch Seasoning
**Remember that this is the higher carb veggie so try not to use this everyday during weight loss phase of the 5&1.
