How to Peel Butternut Squash • 2 Easy Ways
When September is here, there are a few things that I think of like visiting our local orchards 🍏🍎, start making casseroles and soups, harvesting our garden and also make my favorite recipes using squash… the ones that can be found only during fall and winter.
Besides pumpkin 🎃, I like using acorn when making my Squash à la Canadienne, Stuffed Carnival Squash is another great one I like to serve, make my Turkey Meatballs with Spaghetti Squash, Tempura using Kabocha Squash, etc. Butternut is another one and, in this tutorial, I’m showing you How to Peel Butternut Squash using 2 Easy Ways!
The outer skin of this vegetable – although botanically speaking, all squashes are fruit – is tough and can be intimidating to prep. I have a couple of methods to make the task easier. It’s the oven or the microwave. Most women in my family use the oven but personally, I prefer the microwave… it’s quicker!
How to Peel Butternut Squash • 2 Easy Ways will help you to prep it safely and without struggling
After washing and drying it, you choose which cooking method you want. When time is up and it has time to cool off enough to handle, the skin is removed then the squash is cut in half before scooping out the seeds and strings… it works like a charm 😀!
Are the seeds edible? Absolutely and they’re healthy as well. They make great snacks or nice toppings for your salads 🥗. Here’s how to roast them…
After separating them from the strings, put them in a bowl filled with water and swish them around to loosen any remaining flesh or strings. Place the seeds on a clean dish towel and pat them dry with paper towels. Toss them in oil and seasonings before placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Transfer them in a 325ºF preheated oven and roast for 14 to 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking.
Either you opt for the oven or the microwave, this How to Peel Butternut Squash • 2 Easy Ways tutorial will make prepping safer and faster. Anytime I want to make my Vegetable Tian, Butternut Squash Curry, Butternut Squash Soup, Butternut Squash Ravioli, Butternut Squash Ham & Leek Quiche, etc. I rely on one of these methods…
