I love to get the kids involved in cooking, and this squash is so simple even a small child can cook it with minimal adult supervision. The recipe is fun, fast and no-fuss, and doesn't use valuable oven space before big family meals. —Donna Kelly, Orem, Utah

Test Kitchen Tips

Cut slices just 1/2 inch thick. If slices are thicker, the waffle iron won't close all the way.

A panini press also works to make this squash.

The squash will be very tender after cooking this way. To keep the squash intact, drizzle the maple mixture over the squash instead of brushing it on.
