Peel the squash and cut it into 1-inch cubes. It’s important that the cubes are fairly small so they will cook thoroughly.
Mince or finely chop the garlic clove.
Place the oil, parsley, garlic, and pepper in a large bowl and mix well. You can add other seasonings, too, and feel free to add your own flavoring ideas.
Add the squash to the bowl and stir until all the pieces are fully coated.
Transfer the squash to a shallow oven-safe pan. Place in oven for about 45 minutes.
Makes about 5 servings, depending on the size of your squash.
