Tips
- To make the perfect squash rolls, choose small to medium-sized squash that are firm and have a deep, rich color. - Before cooking the squash, pierce it with a fork or knife to allow steam to escape during cooking. This will help prevent the squash from bursting. - When baking the squash, place it cut-side down on a baking sheet to allow the natural sugars to caramelize and enhance the flavor. - For a crispy skin, brush the squash with olive oil before baking. - Allow the squash to cool slightly before handling it to prevent it from falling apart. - Use a sharp knife to cut the squash into thin strips for the rolls. - Fill the squash rolls with your favorite fillings, such as roasted vegetables, cheese, or meat. - Bake the squash rolls until the filling is heated through and the squash is tender. - Serve the squash rolls immediately with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt. ###
