You’ll have to increase the roasting time though on the squash cubes to make sure the skin gets less tough and easier to eat. Sometimes the squash is coated in (edible) wax to keep it fresher, longer. You’ll want to try to get that wax off before cooking if you can. But if not, there’s no harm in eating it.
