๐ช Starting from raw? The basics (1)
Roasting a whole butternut squash
Slice off the stem end, halve lengthwise (microwave the whole squash 2โ3 minutes first if it's hard to cut), scoop the seeds, rub the cut faces with oil, and roast cut-side down at 400ยฐF for 40โ50 minutes until a knife slides in easily. Scoop the flesh from the skin. A medium squash gives about 4 cups.
