- Soups and Salad Greens: Roast the butternut squash to bring out the natural sweetness and depth of flavour that provides both warmth and variety in texture.
- Casseroles and Stuffing: Chop squash into even size cubes to allow the dishes to cook consistently.
- Pasta Salads: Chop into small cubes are best for easy mixing with the pasta and dressing.
- All Recipes: Don’t forget to season! Herbs and salt and pepper help balance the natural sweetness of the butternut squash and make your dishes shine!
If you find it difficult to peel and chop the butternut squash try this trick! Stick it in the microwave whole for 2-3 minutes on high before trying to peel it. Microwaving it slightly will cook the flesh just under the skin, making it easier to peel and chop.
