I sliced them in half, scooped out the seeds and add a small amount of butter to the inside. Salt and pepper then a sprinkle of herbs de provence and they are ready for roasting.
After twenty-five minute they emerged from the oven golden and soft. The first taste reminded me of a cross between spaghetti and acorn squash. It was slightly sweet with a delicious creamy texture.
The remaining squash will no longer be destined for the thanksgiving centerpiece but will grace the thanksgiving table.

They look like a melon...cute. There ain't such small squash here, at least I haven't seen one in last 5 years, would love to try them!
I haven't tried this kind of squash before, sounds lovely!
Funny, but DashofStash and I reveled over this squash last fall... I love the fact that you can find so many cool things at market to try!
This sounds like a delicious way to prepare this type squash. Love the presentation, simple and elegant at the same time.
What a great idea. Ill look for this type of squash while shopping. I love your photos!
I tried these for the first time a few weeks ago too. And I thought the same about the flavor!
Looks great, I have to try it, squash comes in all colors and shapes and sizes this time of the year.
