Best way to cook Butternut squash

[dw]

I've never grown them before but I have at least 3 in the garden...not quite ripe but I am looking forward to eating them.

As a matter of fact, we are having butternut squash tonight. What we do is peel and seed one squash, and then, cut the meat into cubes. We are going to roast the cubes along with cubed potatoes, halved brussel sprouts, squares on onion and squares of red cabbage. We serve the roasted veggies over some quinoa. The entire dish then gets dressed with a sauce made tahini, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup.

This dish is called a Buddha Bowl. There are many variations.

I like them cut in half, seeds scooped, then cooked cut side down in the oven, on a cookie sheet with sides. (Do they still call those jelly-roll pans?) I do not like butternut cut up and boiled. Ends up way too watery for me. Hubbard boils up OK. If I'm adding butter, honey, syrup, salt & pepper, or whatever to the baked butternut, I only do that on serving.

I make mine like Use Less,

Flat pans with 1 inch sides=full sheet pan, half sheet pan, quarter sheet pan, jelly roll pan.
Flat pan with the option of 1 or 2 edges=cookie sheet

I bake it or cube and roast. However, it’s not my favorite winter squash and rarely grow it anymore. My favorite now is Sunshine winter squash from Johnny’s Selected Seeds. I could eat it every day and sometimes do just that.
