I slice butternut squash very thin, and brush it with a mixture of olive oil, chopped garlic, salt, pepper, and whatever herb I feel like (usually thyme or rosemary)—then bake at 400 until it’s soft and sizzly. (Come to think of it, that’s exactly how I cook asparagus, except it gets crispy instead of soft.)

I will try that, Laurel. After I try John’s recipe, of course.

Oh, and leave the skin on if you want interesting texture — it’s crunchy enough to eat if it’s caramelized enough.

Have you tried roasting squash at 500F (seriously)?

Knowing that that recipe was in an actual cookbook actually kinda frightens me. I'm hoping it was more of a 'Have you ever considered roasting green beans? just throw em in a pan in the oven for 15 minutes and they go great with...' and then lead into a bigger recipe. But, on a page, all by itself, I half expect the next page to be:

Best Toast Ever.

Ingredients: .5g marijuana 2 slices of bread 1 pat of butter (optional)

Step 1: Important: Put bread in toaster before any other steps. Step 2: Smoke marijuana. Step 3: Once suitably munchy, push down lever on toaster. Step 4: Once toast is expelled from toaster, eat. Optionally, spread butter on toast with knife before eating. You will find that this is, indeed, the best. toast. EVAR.

Sorry. Too sarcastic? (BTW, love the commercial. Caught it during Iron Chef... =) )
