Whether you’re craving butternut squash soup or the perfect fall salad, we’ve collected squash recipes that make the most of the season.
What is more “fall” than squash? And before you try to contradict me, let me remind you that pumpkins are part of the same family. That’s what I thought! And that’s why we’ve compiled this mouth-watering list of squash recipes.
Squash comes in a wide range of varieties, but for Cozy Season, we’re specifically talking about “winter squash,” which includes butternut, spaghetti, acorn, and pumpkins. (Conversely, summer squash and zucchini are not in season right now and are softer.)
There are a zillion ways to prepare squash in the fall and winter, which is why we collected two dozen of our favorite squash recipes perfect for hearty and comforting meals, for Thanksgiving and beyond.
From soups to empanadas, fried to grilled, and acorn squash to butternut, this list has a good mix of everything you want this time of year — and then some!
