"This is amazingly simple, yet incredibly tasty. I use Olde Thompson's brand California Garlic and Sea Salt and Garlic and Pepper grinders, so amount is a guess, but I think it's about 1/2 teaspoon of each per squash half."

Weloved the garlic with the squash. I followed the recipe but prepared it differently. I cleaned the squash and scored each half. Added 1 1/3 tbsps butter to each, added tha garlic pepper/salt covered them with foil baked in 400 oven for 25 minutes, removed the foil and continued baking for a further 25 minutes. Perfect. Lovely side dish to any meal
