Hello everyone!

Does anyone have any good recipes or ideas for butternut squash?

I am growing it in my garden this year and my butternut squash plant sort of got out of control and now I have a surplus of butternut squash.

    Get yourself a vegetable spiralizer, then you can cook it with olive oil and butter, salt and pepper. Hey presto, or maybe hey pesto! Low carb vegetable pasta is great!

    Boil or steam, and mash. Then season to your liking. I like cinnamon, SF maple syrup, and cinnamon added

    i love this recipe. but seriously, dealing with fresh butternut squash is so difficult! more power to you, i've never diced as many fingers as i have trying to prep butternut squash for roasting.

    I can buy butternut squash already cut up, but find that it is pretty pricey, so I take my chances with a good sharp knife!

    My sister made a good roast butternut squash, chili, feta and rocket salad a few weeks ago. I'll see if I can find the recipe.

    Try grilling it on your BBQ (or in the oven broiler) sliced down the neck as if hamburgers (seed the bottom part slices to make "grille-Os"). Brush on a little olive oil, dust with S & P, at the simplest. Go wild from there with other condiments/sauces if the spirit moves you. No need to remove skin to cook; can remove after cooking, or eat if softened enough.

    Cut in half and roast cut side down on parchment until tender. I freeze it in cubes and use it in chili, stews and soups. I mix it into Quinoia for a subtle sweetness at breakfast.
    Run it through the blender with broth for a great soup. Rather than adding cream, stir in a little Greek yogurt at the end. Yum!

    How do you cut this stuff without hurting yourself? It's very hard & difficult to work with.
