3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped, plus 1-2 tablespoons whole leaves, divided

Steps:

  • Make the dough: Transfer the squash to a large bowl and mash until smooth.
  • In a separate large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, salt, ginger, sage, olive oil, and maple syrup.
  • Stir with a wooden spoon until well mixed. Add 1 cup (450 g) of the mashed butternut squash (save the rest for another use) and work with your hands until the dough begins to come together.

### 3 Essential Squash Cooking Methods Cooking squash is easy, fun, and rewarding, as it offers many different cooking methods, here are 3 of the most common and useful methods: ### Steaming Steaming is a gentle cooking method that preserves the squash's nutrients and natural flavors. Simply place your squash in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Depending on the type of squash, cook for 5-15 minutes, or until it is easily pierced with a paring or butter-knife. ### Rooting Rooting is a classic way to cook squash, and it brings out its natural sweetness. Preheat your over to 425°F (220°C). Toss your squash with some oil, salt, and spices (e.g., cinnamon, nutmeg, or chili powder). Place it on a sheet pan and roast for 20-30 minutes, or until it is easily pierced with a paring or butter-knife. ### Sautéing Sautéing is a quick and easy way to cook squash. Simply heat some oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add your squash and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it is softened. Add any seasonings or spices you like, such as salt, paprika, or cumin. ### Top 5 Squash Cooking & Serving Suggestions 1. **Roasted Squash Soup:** Roast squash with some onions and carrots. Then, puree the roasted veggies with some broth, cream, salt, and spices. Serve with a sprinkle of croutons or toasted bread. 2. **Sautéed Squash with Garlic and Herbs:** Sauté squash with some minced or sliced shallots, a clove of minced or grated squash cloves, and a pinch of red chili flakes. Stir in some fresh herbs, like thyme or rosemary, at the end. Serve with grilled chicken or fish. 3. **Grilled Squash with Balsamic Glaze:** Grill squash slices brushed with a mixture of oil, salt, and balsamic vinegar. Cook until slightly charred and then drizzle with a thicker glaze made from balsamic vinegar and a touch of brown sugar. 4. **Stuffed Squash:** Carefully halve and hollow out squash (like butternut squash or acorn squash). Brush the insides with melted butter and bake them until slightly softened. Then, fill them with your favorite stuffing, such as roasted veggies, rice, or ground meat. 5. **Squash Fritters:** Grate or shred squash and mix it with some eggs, milk, and seasoned bread crumbs. Then, fry spoonfuls of the mixture in hot oil until golden-crispy. Serve the fritters with a dipping of your choice, like ranch or blue cheese. ### Nutritional Value of Squash Squash is a low-calorie and nutrient-rich food. It is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants. Some types of squash, like butternut squash, are also a good source of dietary faber. ### In the End Squash is a versatile and delicious type of produce that can be enjoyed year-round. With its various cooking methods and serving suggestions, you can incorporate squash into your diet in various ways and reap its numerous health benefits.
