You will find these little pear shaped friends all over the markets these days. Don't do what I do and stare at it lovingly but never actually get at it. Easily one of my top 5 favorite veggies and I forget how easy they are to handle. See above. Just blast these salted and oiled chunks in a hot oven at 425 for 20-30 min and devour. I tend to nibble on them like crackers or nuts just off the sheet tray. We do the same thing to our broccoli and call them broccoli fries for a pre-dinner snack with my kiddo. We love 'em.
Tell me, do you all already know this method?
I slice off the top and bottom. Cut it in half length wise and dig out the seeds with a spoon. Then I peel it with a potato peeler. The rest is the same as you...cut into chunks, oil, salt, oven, yum! Maybe I'll try your way next time and see which way I like best. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this. I had never tried a butternut squash, mostly because I had no idea how to cook it. Just tried this and love it.
