Cooking Tip

Butternut Squash

One whole 2-pound butternut squash yields 1-1/2 pounds of flesh. When peeling the squash, use the best peeler available, as the squash has a hard shell and can be difficult to peel.

Squash Tips

Grilling Squash and Zucchini

Grilling is a preferred method for squash preparation as it draws out the moisture in squash and evaporates it quickly. The result is no need to salt the squash to draw out water beforehand, and the surface directly facing the coals caramelizes nicely.
