I cut mine in half, scoop out the seeds put butter and brown sugar in the hole and wrap in foil and bake. When cooked scoop out the squash. That is how my husband likes his squash.

[@sheliametcalfe]

Yummy

[@erikkkkkkk914]

Can you give me cool time and temp.please. This is how my grandpa made when I was a kid. Looking for instructions for this. Thank you

I have never cooked squash but I planted one plant this year and your far it's yeilded about 30+ so I may end up trying all four methods by the time all the squash are ready to be picked :) thanks

[@zonarevolorio9319]

Also try some Marsala on it before you bake it!!

[@Aoi_Fans]

Great video as always :) Quick tip: Don't be afraid to fill up your oven with other veggies such as cauliflower and carrots when you're baking the squash. They last a few days in the fridge and I often throw roast veg into salads or just snack on them. Leftovers can puree it down into a tasty dip or just thrown in the freezer for later.

Hi munchies! Today I’m sharing 4 different ways to prep a butternut squash… PLUS a bonus recipe for those of you who make it to the end :) What’s your favorite way to enjoy butternut squash!?

[@TheDietChef]

+Mind Over Munch Never considered cooking it in the micro :D Loved the music

[@JenniAngel13]

+Mind Over Munch I like peeling the whole butternut squash. Throw the peels away. Continue peeling the squash to make a type of butternut squash noodle. As you peel it, they curl up and are so cute. Then I use a lightly greased casserole dish. Toss all the "noodles" in, stir in some meat sauce/pasta sauce(I like using ground turkey or ground chicken for the meat sauce). Spread some croutons over the top. Add a little parm cheese and top with some cheddar or mozza cheese. Bake in the oven. It's so delicious. My whole family loves it and has much less calories than a real pasta or lasagna dish. Oh yeah!!! Don't forget to save the seeds!! :D :D

[@zhuoxitian1120]

My favorite way to cook it is very simple but healthy: just cut the butternut Squash into cubes then steam the cubes in a pot. Finally add some honey. Then it's done ^_^

[@herbivorouscyborg2398]

+Colt T Wow that sounds really unethical. Couldn't you possibly enjoy the squash without flesh?

Your explanations on how to cook them is straight forward and doesn't need any kind of strange ingredients (translation: something I don't already have in my kitchen). - - Edit: I cut it in half and baked it. I served it with butter and cinnamon as a vegetable side dish rather than regular baked potato.

I usually microwave the squash for a few minutes to get it softer to cut and it makes it a LOT easier to cube. I do a butternut squash casserole with kale and turkey sausage, then I do a banging butternut squash soup. Couldn't ever get use to it the sweet way though!

[@caraj8949]

I like butternut squash soup too. I roast (olive oil, salt cayenne pepper--to taste) the squash, onions, garlic and a Granny Smith apple, peeled and cored. Once done, I puree all ingredients with homemade veggie stock. I make sure to cube some of the squash for texture. I have it with a piece of artisan bread. Good stuff. How do you make yours?

[@djenkins1119]

do you have a recipe you would be willing to share?

[@sjhlion]

1 cup mashed, cooked butternut squash 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 pinch cayenne pepper 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese 1 egg yolk 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 (16 ounce) package round wonton wrappers 2 tablespoons butter 1 clove garlic, unpeeled chopped fresh sage to taste 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste Place cooked squash into a mixing bowl. Add salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir in mascarpone cheese, egg yolk, and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, mixing until the filling is smoothly combined. Place a wonton wrapper onto a working surface. Wet the tip of a finger in water, and run it all along the outer edge of the wonton skin to moisten. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of the wonton. Fold the wonton in half to make a half-moon shape, and press the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers. Place a deep skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in butter and unpeeled clove of garlic. Remove garlic after two minutes and continue on low until butter is slightly brown. Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Drop the filled raviolis into the boiling water, a few at a time, and cook until they float to the top, about 2 minutes. Drain the raviolis, and transfer them to the skillet. Turn the heat under the skillet up to medium-high, and cook just until the raviolis are infused with garlic flavor, about 2 or 3 more minutes. Sprinkle with chopped sage, more black pepper, and extra Parmesan cheese to taste.

[@alecwinner]

My favorite way is to roast it cut in half lengthwise and then make a little savory (or sweet if you want, maple syrup and cinnamon, yum!) bread pudding mixture and fill the cavity with it. You can mix in a little lean sausage, sage, rosemary and a nice seedy bread with some egg and milk or water, bake it just like normal (making sure it doesn't burn, so you might want to cover it in foil when it starts to brown) and it's delicious! Plus you can get a little protein in without having to waste another pan!

[@Jbroker404]

I would recommend that you should not put olive oil on it if you are going to bake it at 400° F, as this is beyond the smoke point of olive oil.

yes, light olive oil is fine though as it has a higher smoke point. I would avoid using extra virgin olive oil at high temperatures.

[@Georgia-Vic]

Thank you Alyssa , you are Awesome!... Most squash (except for zucchini) lend themselves nicely to cinnamon,allspice and nutmeg!(it's best to buy them whole and grind them yourself!) Any of 3 oils can be used with no problem: E.V. Olive oil,M.C.T.- Coconut oil or my fav... Buttah!...and to the 1'st timers concerning cutting.Always use a sharp knife.Dont force the blade if it resists. Use several small incisions at a time to form a dotted line then keep on retracing your intended path until gradually the divide is complete(no hurry no worries!) and last but not least, try not to use your weak hand (opposite of your dominant) to press down because sooner or later slippage is imminent! 😫... so Happy Baking! 😋 BTW since Butternut has sugar in it, it's always recommended to balance the flavor with the sprinkling of salt! You'll be glad that you did! 😉👍
