How to Prepare Butternut Squash for Cooking

How to Prepare Butternut Squash for Cooking

Preparing butternut squash may seem intimidating, but with a few simple steps, you can easily get it ready for you next vegetarian recipe. Here’s how to do it:

1. Peel the Squash: Using a vegetable peeler, peel the skin of the squash. Start from the top and work your way down. The skin can be quite tough, so a sharp peeler works best. Remove all the green lines you see under the skin as they tend to be tough and fibrous.

2. Cut the Squash: Once peeled, place the squash on a cutting board. Cut off both ends, then slice the squash in half lengthwise. Be careful, as the squash is dense and can be slippery under a knife.

3. Remove the Seeds: Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp from the bulbous part of the squash. You can discard the seeds or save them for roasting as a healthy snack.

4. Chop or Cube: Chop or Cube: Now, slice the squash into the desired shapes. For oven-roasted side dishes or soups, cubing the squash into even chunks is ideal for even cooking.

How to Cook Butternut Squash: Simple Methods for Every Recipe

Butternut squash is a versatile vegetable that can be cooked in various ways depending on the flavours of your dinner recipe. Here are three easy methods to cook it perfectly every time.

Roasting Butternut Squash:
Roasting brings out the natural sweetness and creates a deep, caramelised flavour. - Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). - Peel, seed, and cube the squash into even pieces. - Toss the cubes in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking tray in a single layer. - Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and tender. This is perfect for adding to a healthy salad.

Boiling Butternut Squash:
Boiling is ideal for making a smooth mash or adding to soup recipes and stews. - Peel, seed, and cut the squash into chunks. - Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add the squash. - Boil for 10-15 minutes until the squash is tender. Drain and use as needed.

Steaming Butternut Squash:
Steaming is a healthy option that preserves more maximum nutrients. - Cut the squash into cubes. - Place the squash in a steamer basket over simmering water. - Steam for 10-15 minutes until soft but still firm. Use it in vegetarian meals, side dishes, or puree it for baby food.
