Directions
- Place 1 squash or zucchini on a cutting board. Cut zucchini at a 45-degree angle on the bias, rotate squash a quarter turn toward you so that the cut side faces up. Cut again at a 45-degree angle right through the middle of the face. Rotate the squash a quarter turn again and repeat process. Repeat process until all squash and zucchini are cut.
