½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon McCormick® Rubbed Sage

Tips:

  • When selecting shaker squash, choose ones that are firm and have a deep orange color.
  • To easily remove the skin from the squash, roast it whole in the oven until the skin blisters. Then, let it cool slightly before peeling.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • These muffins are best when eaten fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Shaker squash muffins are a delicious and nutritious way to enjoy this unique and flavorful winter squash.
