Make these as spicy as you like, but don’t leave the heat out--it’s a very nice contrast to the sweetness of the squash.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray or rub oil on a baking sheet.
- Trim ends off squash, cut in half lengthwise, and scoop out seeds. Peel, then slice across to make 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place in a large bowl* and add oil and hot sauce. Toss to coat well.
- Mix together flour, curry powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle over squash sticks and toss again.
- Place slices on the greased baking sheet in one layer. Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes. Use a food turner to turn the slices over and bake another 15 minutes, for a total of 50 minutes.
- If desired, squeeze some lemon juice over the slices right before serving, or serve with a wedge of lemon so each person can do their own.

I have made this several times. It is amazingly delicious. If pressed for time when preparing it for a side dish, I have used the pre-cut butternut squash that is readily available in grocery stores (though you may have to search for it.)
So glad you enjoyed this. Great idea to use the pre-cut chunks! That definitely saves time. Please let us know when you try any of the other recipes.
I look forward to trying this out.
