Preheat the oven to 400°
Split the squash lengthwise VERY carefully, as it’s thick and
dense.
Scoop out the seeds. You don’t have to peel the squash.
Spread a thin layer of olive oil over the squash pieces, and sprinkle
with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on a sheet pan, and bake in
the oven. Bake it for 45-60 minutes, or until a knife can easily go
through the squash. Remove from the oven, and cool until it can be
easily handled.
Scoop the flesh away from the skin, and discard the skin. Mash the
squash, and add the orange juice and cinnamon. Season to taste with
salt and pepper.
Note: You can use other winter squashes, including acorn squash.
