Tips for Making Mashed Hubbard Squash

  • Choose the right squash. Look for a Hubbard squash that is firm and heavy for its size. The skin should be smooth and free of blemishes.
  • Prepare the squash. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Roast the squash. Place the squash halves cut-side up on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the flesh is tender.
  • Scoop out the flesh. Once the squash is cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
  • Mash the squash. Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the squash until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Season the squash. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as nutmeg, cinnamon, or maple syrup.
