Step 2: In an upward position, arrange the squash in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Submerge them in water and place inside the preheated oven.

Step 3: Bake for about 1 1/2 hours or until the squash is fork-tender.

Step 4: Once done, remove the squash from the oven and peel with a fork.

Step 5: Before serving, brush the top with melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Enjoy!

Note:

The usual cooking time takes around 90 minutes if using a large squash. Cook according to the size and weight of the squash used.
