Butternut squash is one of those vegetables that transforms into something magical in the oven.
What starts out as a firm, pale squash becomes tender, caramelized, naturally sweet, and packed with rich roasted flavor.
Whether you're making soups, casseroles, pasta, salads, or serving it as a simple side dish, learning how to safely cut and perfectly roast butternut squash is a kitchen skill you'll use all season long.
Roasting brings out the squash's natural sugars while creating lightly browned edges that make every bite irresistible. Best of all, once roasted, it can be used in countless recipes throughout the week, making meal prep simple and delicious.
We have also bought several kinds of squash, prepared it this way, and frozen it in freezer bags, mashed or cubed, and it stays perfect all winter.
