Notes
*I roasted my seeds with some olive oil and salt - yum!
I love this type of squash as I don't have to remove the outside. When you roast it, the skin becomes soft. Eating the outside is good because it is loaded with fiber. Most Americans are very low in fiber which is not good for our health! It is also high in omega fatty acids which adds to its anti-inflammatory benefits!
