\nAll is said and done. [Beyonce]. \nHere I am. \nLooking in the mirror. \nAn open face, the pain erased. \nNow the sky is clearer. \nI can see the sun. \nNow that all is, all is said and done, oh. \n[Marc].
2. Cut off the top. Place the squash on a large cutting board. Hold the thicker end of the squash with one hand, and use the other to cut approximately 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) off the narrow end, just below the stem. The slice should be clean and even.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Trim the ends from the squash, and cut each squash in half lengthwise. Cut the halves in half again crosswise, to make 4 pieces; cut those pieces in half twice more the long way, to make 16 short spears from each squash. Toss the squash with olive oil and garlic in a bowl; place into a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Roast the squash until the spears and garlic start to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Check the squash after 5 minutes, and add time in 2- to 3-minute intervals to avoid burning.
