Squash Puff Pastry

Lay out one filo sheet.  Brush on oil or melted natural margarine.  Repeat. I used three sheets total.

Place the roasted squash* that has been sauteed** and seasoned on the long end and roll up.

Make slits on the top every 2 inches.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until light golden brown on top.

Bake at 350 degrees. 

* peel the squash (any kind, acorn, butternut or pumpkin) 

and cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes.

Roast in the oven until soft...be careful not to burn them.

**Saute the squash in natural oil or margarine...add salt and pepper to taste. Cool before making the filo Puff Pastry.

Important!!!...Keep the filo dough from drying out. Lay the open filo dough on a piece of plastic wrap or to be eco ,use a damp towel and then lay a damp towel on top.
