Wow! This is ten stars terrific. I watched my beautiful squash go from crisp to limp with great trepidation but it tastes amazing done this way. Adored the basil and garlic. This is so quick and easy I know I'll make it again and again. Thank you so much for the new method, Barb. Can't wait to try it on other veggies.
