Butternut squash is a winter squash with pale beige skin and a bright orange interior. Both the skin and the flesh are hard and firm until cooked, and it’s shaped almost like an elongated pear. Squash is one of oldest known crops, dating back 10,000 years to Mexico and Central America. This low-calorie, fiber-rich winter squash is a great hydrator, and one serving of butternut squash is roughly 87% water. This squash is also good for your immunity. Like other orange-colored fruits and vegetables, butternut squash is full of beta-carotene and alpha-carotene. Your body converts them to vitamin A, which is important for your immune system. Butternut squash has lutein and zeaxanthin, often found in yellow fruits, vegetables, and eggs.
Additionally, Your body needs healthy fat to absorb eye benefitting nutrients. Eat butternut squash with a little drizzle of olive oil. This super-food is also a good source of fiber. Foods high in dietary fiber can keep your weight in balance and lower cancer risk. Hummus now comes in a wide variety of flavors- and more innovative recipes emerge each year.
Once you’ve cut open your butternut squash, scoop out the seeds and discard them. There’s no need to peel your squash. Just place the squash halves flesh down on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
Placing the halves flesh down ensures your butternut squash will steam and roast until tender. Once cooked, just remove from the oven and let cool slightly before scooping out the flesh for your recipe. This cooking method will turn a tough, raw gourd into a soft, sweet ingredient. Roasting butternut squash is the more common process for achieving browned, crispy edges and a creamy interior. Place in preheated oven(400 degrees and roast for 45-60 minutes or until the squash is tender to the poke of a fork. Allow your roasted squash to cool before peeling the squash or scooping out the flesh.
