How To Cook Butternut Squash

How To Cook Butternut Squash

One of the most popular winter squash varieties is the butternut squash. One of the reasons it is so popular is because of its versatility. Even though it's called "winter" squash it is available year-round. It's popularity increases in the fall and winter because of its similarity to pumpkin, and it's heavier and richer flavor. It is good roasted, baked, steamed, and even stir-fried. It also can be stuffed like acorn squash.
