Liar Squash
"This is the only way my brother and I would eat squash for years. My mom tricked us into eating it by thinly slicing squash and serving it up the same way she would make potatoes. I was 16 before I realized I'd actually been eating squash all this time. Hence the name, liar squash.
I've done with other veggies (zucchini and potatoes especially), but squash is still my favorite."

What with the combo of Parmesan cheese & the squash, the 2 of us were very satisfied with the taste of this dish, & I was happy with the easy of preparation! A great keeper! Thanks! [Made & reviewed during this Spring's Pick A Chef event] -
Very easy, and very tasty. I used an acorn squash, cut into thin (1/4 in) wedges. The squash caramelized beautifully, and was very tender. I cooked with the skin on, ans peeled off of each piece as I ate. A definite make again, although I'll likely add chopped herbs next time to vary the flavor. Thanks for posting! -
Easy, tasty way to serve squash! My squash didn't get as brown as I would have liked, even after 20 minutes at 350, but still tasted great. Thanks for posting this easy, healthy recipe! Made for Spring Pick-A-Chef 2011
