How can I prepare and cook roasted squash in the oven to perfection?

To prepare and cook roasted squash in the oven to perfection, start by preheating the oven to 400F. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Brush the cut sides with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices. Place the squash cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for about 40-50 minutes, or until the squash is tender and caramelized. Enjoy as a delicious and nutritious side dish!
