It comes from Raegan Sales, the Veggie Whisperer. To capture the deep flavor of butternut squash, roast it whole at 400 degrees for about an hour until it yields when you stab it with a fork. Cool a little, then cut it in half, remove the seeds and peel off the paper-thin skin (unless you are like me and consume that, too).

I\u2019ve peeled, hacked, boiled, nuked, drenched in oil, and otherwise abused squash in the past. Who would have thought that the easiest cooking method would be the best?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
