This process is so very easy. No peeling! Take a look! Squash is great for pureeing, roasting and baking. Once cooked and pureed, it can be used in soups, main dishes, vegetable side dishes, even breads, muffins, custards and pies. The skin has many nutrients so go ahead and use it. Or peel and discard. But you will never know it's in the puree. Dress any cooked winter squash with butter and herbs, a cream sauce, cheese sauce, maple syrup, candied ginger, spices and or nuts.

SERVES 3 , 2 cups pureed (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 butternut squash or acorn squash or any hard winter squash (as many as you want)
1 pinch salt

Preheat oven to 350.
2
Place squash on cookie sheet pan and bake for 60 minutes till tender and caramelized.

4

Puree in a Vita mix blender skin and flesh with a pinch of salt till smooth.
6
Cool and place 2 cups in freezer ziplock bags. Freeze till ready to use in your favorite pie, soup, bread or sauce!

This could NOT have been any easier! I roasted an acorn squash & a butternut squash. Both came out perfect. I then mashed some of each w/a bit of half-n-half and butter. Like mashed potatoes only way healthier!! I can't wait to go buy more squash to roast a bunch to freeze. THANKS!!

This is a GREAT technique! I grew butternuts in my garden this year and was wondering what to do withthem. I roasted 3 of them at the same time. Super easy! I pureed them skin and all in my food processor. It was quick and the skin blended right in! I froze them in 2 c. increments. This will be great for soups and breads! Thanks so much for the great tip!

hey this was awesome... i didn't know you could roast a whole squash without burning down the house. sooo much easier than peeling and chopping a raw giant squash. i used this technique with a pumpkin, and made soup out of the results. sweetness!

i have baked squash for years! Love this way. I mash it instead of putting it in a blender.
