The Scoop on Winter Squash

Preparation Tips

The versatility of squash allows it to be cooked and peeled or unpeeled. After washing, cut in half and remove the seeds and fibrous material in the cavity. Bake in ½" water at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes, or until soft.

Serving Suggestions

  • Top pureed cooked winter squash with cinnamon and maple syrup
  • Steam cubes of winter squash and then dress with olive oil, tamari, ginger and pumpkin seeds
