Step by Step Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Rinse the squash, then cut it in half length-wise, scoop out the seeds, and rub coconut oil on both sides.
  2. Place the squash cut-side down on the baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Peel off the skin while it is still warm and cut the squash into quarters.
  3. Put the squash into a bowl and mash it up with a fork. Add the coconut milk and either stir to mix it in or allow it to seep into the squash.
  4. Spoon into portions and top as desired.
