  11. Move one half of squash to a cutting board and place two wooden utensils on either side of the squash. This will limit the knife from cutting all the way through the vegetable while you thinly slice it vertically. Do the same to the second half of the squash.

  13. Brush 1/3 of the mixture onto the squash. I pushed the mix deep into the slits as possible.

Thanks!
It does taste great and since we usually have plenty of them from our garden, I love new recipes for them!

This sounds delicious, I can't wait to try it. I use chopsticks when I make cuts like this. Thanks for sharing

Chopsticks to cut the veggie or as the guard so you dont cut all the way through?
You may need to cook it a lot more to be soft enough to cut thinly with chopsticks ( you MUST be better at chopsticks than me!)

If you mean you'll use them as side guards, be careful you don't cut right through the squash if you want it to stay intact to serve as a "log" Remember that you hollowed out the other side when you removed the seeds!

Good luck!!
