1. Roast cleaned squash seeds for a nutritious, delicious snack!
2. To easily remove the skin, prick with a fork and microwave on high for 3 - 5 minutes then use a vegetable peeler once cooled.
3. Roasting your winter squash? Unless it’s Spaghetti Squash, don’t bother peeling. The skin is edible, delicious and softens during roasting.
Most winter squash will stay fresh for a long time when properly stored. Keep whole squash in a cool, dry place for up to 4 weeks. Store cut or cooked squash in the fridge for up to 3 days.
From skin to seed, almost every part of delicata squash is edible. After a thorough cleaning, try roasting half moon slices with the tender skin on and be sure to save and roast the seeds for a healthy snack!
Butternut squash is one of those vegetables that can be eaten any time of day. Seriously! For breakfast it can be incorporated into pancakes, oatmeal and hash. Butternut squash soup or salads make healthy lunch staples. For dinner, it’s a great addition in main dishes like enchiladas, pasta or curries. And let’s not forget dessert, you can substitute butternut squash pretty much anywhere you see pumpkin listed, so use it mashed or pureed in pies, cakes, custards & puddings.
