The Play-By-Play:

Step three: Skin the squash with a vegetable peeler.

Step four: Stand the squash up on one end and cut the squash down the middle with a large knife.

Step five: Use a spoon to scrape the seeds and additional pulp out of the squash. Save the seeds and set aside if you want to enjoy toasted seeds!
