Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Acorn and Hubbard squashes are both great choices for baking. They have a firm texture that holds its shape well when cooked, and they have a sweet, nutty flavor.
  • Prepare the squash properly: Before baking, wash the squash and cut it in half. Scoop out the seeds and pulp, and then brush the inside of the squash with melted butter or oil. This will help the squash to brown and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcook the squash: Squash is best when it is cooked until it is tender but still slightly firm. Overcooking will make the squash mushy and bland.
  • Add flavor with herbs and spices: You can add a variety of herbs and spices to the squash before baking. Some good choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and thyme. You can also add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the squash for a touch of sweetness.
  • Serve the squash with a variety of toppings: Baked squash can be served with a variety of toppings, such as butter, sour cream, yogurt, or salsa. You can also sprinkle the squash with chopped nuts or seeds for a crunchy texture.
