Ummm im hungry now.
since uve already recieved answers for indoor recipes, heres one for outside on the grill...slice them length-wise, then brush on some olive oil..add a little salt and pepper, easy on the pepper since it burns easily, and grill until tender...i tried this at my bfs parents, and they loved it. it really brings out the flavor of the squash with a hint of smokiness...
just cut it in half...drizzle a little olive oil and roast....so sweet and delicious....
Cut it in the middle. Scoop out the seeds and place it face down on a micro safe plate. Nuke for about 8 minutes until tender. Scoop out the innards and mix with butter and cinnamon. It's healthy however you eat it.
BUTTERNUT SQUASH
1 butternut squash
salt
brown sugar (optional)
Cut 1 butternut squash in half (there is no need to peel}. Sprinkle salt and brown sugar onto the squash.
Be sure the oven is preheated to 350°F before placing in oven.
Bake squash until soft; then simply scoop the squash out of the skin, add a little butter and serve!
Roast in the oven in olive oil with garlic, you could also roast onions, peppers, cherry tomatoes.
Serve as a side dish or with pasta.
Cut it up and steam it... That's the only way I eat it.
Of course, you could grill it, I've seen it, but, I don't eat it that way.
I like all my vegtables to still taste like vegitables.
