This is your secret weapon for cool-weather meals: rich, perfectly roasted winter squash without any prep work at all. This method works for winter squash of any size, so simply adjust the roasting time as needed.
Special Diets:
Method
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Place whole squash on a baking sheet and roast until the skin is papery and a fork inserted into 2 or 3 different spots reveals very tender flesh, about 1 hour.
Serve as is, or spoon into gratins, casseroles, winter salads and stews. Purée in a food processor until smooth to make soups, risottos, dips and spreads, or gift-worthy baked goods such as pies, cookies and muffins.
