Embrace Autumn with Delicious Squash Recipes

As the cooler months roll in, I find myself sinking into a familiar routine: rewatching the classic film “When Harry Met Sally,” indulging in the warm aroma of cinnamon-scented candles, and, most importantly, gravitating toward the bountiful array of squash that fills the produce section each October. With the instinctive pull of autumn, I often find myself tossing a spaghetti, kabocha, or honey nut squash into my cart, almost without thinking.

If you’ve ever unpacked a hefty butternut squash from your grocery bag, wondering how it made its way there, you’re not alone. But fear not! Here’s a delightful solution: seven scrumptious recipes to make the most of your newfound squash.

  • Spaghetti Squash: If you’ve just picked up a spaghetti squash for the first time, look no further than Ali Slagle’s baked spaghetti squash recipe. This dish serves as a fantastic introduction to the world of squash. Start by mastering the technique for achieving that perfectly roasted, noodle-like interior with the first step of the recipe. Once you’ve got that down, feel free to customize it to your taste or follow Ali’s suggestion of topping the halved squash with gooey mozzarella and herby panko breadcrumbs for an irresistible twist.
  • Kabocha Squash: Perhaps you’ve opted for a kabocha squash, often referred to as the Elphaba of winter squash due to its striking green skin. This skin can be left intact when roasting, adding a delightful layer of texture to Kay Chun’s vibrant squash and spinach salad with sesame vinaigrette. The salad features a savory dressing made from tahini, lemon juice, sesame oil, and soy sauce, which beautifully balances the sweetness of the roasted squash. Alternatively, you can peel off the skin to uncover its rich orange flesh, perfect for Kay’s hearty squash and chickpea stew infused with lemongrass.
