Like with most boiled vegetables, boiling the squash can alter the texture and reduce the flavor within the squash.
To remove particularly stubborn skin within the valleys, you can use a sturdy spoon to dig out the peel.
Microwaving the squash works particularly well for people who want to save time, and for people who are not fully comfortable using a sharp knife or a serrated peeler. It is important to know that the microwave can decrease the texture and flavor of the squash.
Make sure to grease the baking sheet so the squash does not stick.
Instead of slices, you can also cut the halved squash into quarter dices, and then use a sharp knife to cut away the skin on each dice.
