Thanks for posting this, I had no idea I could microwave it. I used a golden acorn squash and just put a pat of butter and a little sea salt. It was good. - 9/19/09

Pretty good. It would probably have been better if I'd used the brown sugar instead of Splenda, but I'm cooking for a diabetic. I did add cayenne pepper which gave it a nice zing. - 2/4/18

This is so easy and so good. I leave the squash whole, cut it in four pieces and eat the skin as well. I read that it has all its vitamins right under the skin. I do make this very often. I want to give it five stars but for some reason the computer will not let me. - 1/7/18

This was ok. I used a golden acorn squash and added a little salt to it as well. A different texture and flavor then I expected but good just the same. - 10/6/09

My Trader Joe's this week was doing something very similar, without lemon juice & with their own 21-seasoning. I made at home without seasoning or lemon juice, and it was terrific & easy. Will try with lemon juice next time! - 10/2/08
