1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Cut the squash in half where the bulbous part meets the “neck.” Slice the squash into strips about 1/2 in (1cm) thick. Spread in an oiled roasting pan. Whisk the oil, 2 tbsp warm water, chiles, ginger, honey, and salt. Pour over the squash and mix well.
2
Bake, shaking the pan occasionally to discourage sticking, for about 40 minutes, or until tender. If the mixture seems dry, add a little more olive oil or water.
3
Transfer the squash to a large platter and sprinkle with the mint. Serve warm, with the lime wedges for squeezing.
