- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil and the salt. Set aside.
- Place the squash wedges on a rimed baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the rosemary sprigs and garlic. Cover the tray tightly with a sheet of aluminum foil. Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes or until the tip of a knife goes into the squash easily.
