Baked Yellow Squash - Allergy Free CookBook

Updated: Sep 24

Our ancestors likely once roasted whole or halved squash in the ashes of the cooking fire. Today, we slice and bake them without the fire. A potato peeler will remove the skin off if desired They can be baked with the skin on, though some varieties do have a tougher skin. A little butter, and some gluten free bacon bits bring out the flavor and texture. As one of the first fruits of the garden, they are most delicious when first picked. There may be only moments between garden, a warm bath, and into the oven for a yellow squash.
