Can I freeze roasted butternut squash?

Absolutely, Freezing is my secret for quick weeknight meals. Just spread cooled roasted squash in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze solid first (this prevents clumping), then transfer to freezer bags. It'll keep beautifully for 2 months.

How do I peel butternut squash easily?

Here's my foolproof method: First, microwave the whole squash for 2 minutes to soften the skin slightly. Then use a sharp vegetable peeler - it'll glide right off. For stubborn spots, a small paring knife does the trick.

Can I eat the skin of butternut squash?

Technically yes, but I don't recommend it - even when roasted, the skin stays tough. It peels off easily after cooking though if you change your mind.

Why is my roasted butternut squash soggy?

Usually this means the cubes were too crowded on the pan or the oven temp was too low. Next time, spread them out more and make sure your oven is fully preheated to 400°F.
