"This is a very simple, quick, and easy side dish to prepare. You can always bake this in the oven the whole time ... but, I prefer to 'quick start' in the microwave; and finish in a very hot oven. It is a fantastic, easy, quick, and healthy side dish."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Squash ... Poke a knife into the squash several times (so it doesn't explode in the microwave). Set on a paper plate lined with a paper towel and microwave 3 1/2 minutes per pound. Usually, 4-5 minutes for the average small squash. Cook on high heat. Flip it over half way during cooking.
Step 2
Once the squash is done (tender), remove from the microwave; and, using a towel to hold the squash, cut it in half lengthwise. Then scoop out the seeds.
Step 3
Bake ...Add both halves to a baking pan (cut side up), lined with foil or parchment for easy clean up. Then mix the ginger, honey, butter, and a pinch of salt and pepper together - and brush on the squash. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 15-25 minutes until tender.
Step 4
Finish ... Remove the squash from the oven and using a fork, 'Scrape' the squash creating noodles or strands; and. transfer to a serving dish. Season once again with salt and pepper if necessary.
Step 5
Serve and ENJOY! One Note ... make sure to use FRESH ginger, it really does make a difference.
