I leave them whole (you eat the entire thing), (if some are large and some small, I'll cut the larger ones in 1/2) put into roasting pan and drizzle olive oil over. Add salt & pepper if you want - I don't use salt. You can toss in some peeled garlic cloves if you want and/or sprinkle some oregano on top. Mix all up and put into 400 deg. oven till done the way you like them. We like them a little crunchy, but some prefer them tender. You can do the same thing with zucchini and yellow squash. You can make a mix of them. For a different take, you can throw some tomatoes in also - either fresh peeled or canned, chopped and some basil. If you do that and you want, you can add mushrooms, cubed eggplant, onions, garlic and red and/or green peppers. I first par-boil the eggplant and mushrooms and drain well since they have a lot of water in them. When I do it like this, I sometimes serve over polenta and that's our meal. Didn't mean to make this so long, or did I mean to sound like a"cookbook"! Let me know if you try this out. Enjoy!

They're a member of the squash family. They're small, kind of shaped like an acorn with fluted tops. I don't know if that's a very good description or not. They're mild tasting and not very common in most supermarkets. Farmers markets often have them.

Redquilter, thanks for the additional details. The white beans sounds like the perfect addition!
