Place squash in a 9×13-inch microwave-safe dish, cut-side down. Pour water into the dish so it is at least 1/2 inch deep.

Microwave on High until skin is soft and can be pierced with a fork, 12 to 15 minutes. If the dish is too big to rotate, turn off the turntable and rotate the dish halfway through.

Recipe Tips
Cook time will vary according to squash size and microwave wattage.
To make squash easier to cut, poke holes in squash and microwave for 5 minutes before cutting.
You can reserve seeds and roast them as you would pumpkin seeds.
