  1. Preheat your oven to 400˚.
  2. Place the squash, cut side down, on a baking sheet. Cover with foil and roast until soft, about 40 minutes.
  3. Put the potatoes on another baking sheet and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. You can put these on another rack in the same oven, toss every 10 minutes until they are nicely browned and crisp.
