I cut mine in half, scoop out the seeds put butter and brown sugar in the hole and wrap in foil and bake. When cooked scoop out the squash. That is how my husband likes his squash.
Yummy
Can you give me cool time and temp.please. This is how my grandpa made when I was a kid. Looking for instructions for this. Thank you
Alyssia is the only person who can describe a vegetable as "mysterious" and sound totally legit.
HA thank you! They are mysterious!!
Srsly why do that
I have never cooked squash but I planted one plant this year and your far it's yeilded about 30+ so I may end up trying all four methods by the time all the squash are ready to be picked :) thanks
Annette Robertson you are blessed! I planted one pumpkin and it has don3 almost nothing. A few flowers but none made fruit- I think maybe it needed a husband plant!
I've never made a butternut squash but I am planning on making it in cube form with cinnamon and salt and pepper, then baking the seeds with paprika, salt, and pepper! Thanks for sharing the recipes!
Also try some Marsala on it before you bake it!!
I wish all cooking instructions online were as effective as yours , really love the speed, very informative and entertaining instruction. 😍🤣😋
How have you not landed a role to be the voice of an animated character yet, is beyond me. lol...
haha! That would be so fun, I actually would LOVE to do that one day!
Looool
LOL!
There is already enough cancer in the world.
Just go for it Mind Over Munch! You'll be GREAT at it!! When you get your first character, link a preview here!
Great video as always :) Quick tip: Don't be afraid to fill up your oven with other veggies such as cauliflower and carrots when you're baking the squash. They last a few days in the fridge and I often throw roast veg into salads or just snack on them. Leftovers can puree it down into a tasty dip or just thrown in the freezer for later.

the music is so cute! makes me feel like I'm walking through an amusement park! :)
Bella Mosqueda Harry Potter and the mysterious squash! :D
I really love videos like this -- they take the fear out of those less used veggies. It would be awesome if you did more videos like these with those not as common vegetables -- Ie Brussels sprouts, Bok Choy, turnip, beets, etc. Thanks Alyssia!!
I am so glad I found your video December 2021 !!!
I have never cooked a squash so I peeled and diced and baked...yummy, thank you it came so soft and moist, I will be adding this to my Christmas dinner table...Thank you again for keeping it simple and easy
It’s a fruit
I appreciate the tone oft his tutorial, and will be trying the " roasting an entire butternut squash at once' method . Thanks!
Thank you for the Butternut Squash recipe, I need it. Be blessed.
Love her sense of humor ! Enjoyed making the squash recipe!
Hi munchies! Today I’m sharing 4 different ways to prep a butternut squash… PLUS a bonus recipe for those of you who make it to the end :) What’s your favorite way to enjoy butternut squash!?
+Mind Over Munch Never considered cooking it in the micro :D Loved the music
+Mind Over Munch I like peeling the whole butternut squash. Throw the peels away. Continue peeling the squash to make a type of butternut squash noodle. As you peel it, they curl up and are so cute. Then I use a lightly greased casserole dish. Toss all the "noodles" in, stir in some meat sauce/pasta sauce(I like using ground turkey or ground chicken for the meat sauce). Spread some croutons over the top. Add a little parm cheese and top with some cheddar or mozza cheese. Bake in the oven. It's so delicious. My whole family loves it and has much less calories than a real pasta or lasagna dish. Oh yeah!!! Don't forget to save the seeds!! :D :D
My favorite way to cook it is very simple but healthy: just cut the butternut Squash into cubes then steam the cubes in a pot. Finally add some honey. Then it's done ^_^
+Colt T Wow that sounds really unethical. Couldn't you possibly enjoy the squash without flesh?
***** So to you being a nazi is the same thing as boycotting unnecessary suffering and death? You are the one participating in a literal holocaust and you call other's nazis. How typical.
Hi. For the very first time I am cooking butter nut squash right now.I have chosen the cubed method mixed with a little flavoured oil and chilli and garlic salt. Wish me luck and thanks for the cooking lesson x
yay! I hope you enjoy!
I love the way you explain how to make the butternut squash, today is the day I try to make it roasted. My Aunt has been making it for my uncle and he's loving it, so todays the day, wish me luck.
This is so simple and helpful. I'm going to split my squash and bake 1/4 face up and dice the other half. Today.
I love pumpkin seeds, here in México they are called "pepitas" and they are sold wherever you go. But squashes are only available in fall. Looking forward to try this!!!
They kill parasites too
@@NoMore-gc3gi really?
I am seriously so grateful that your videos are CLEAN! There are so many channels out that with vulgarity and profanity, but I love that I can share your videos with my daughters as we're exploring healthy recipes and having fun in the kitchen. THANK YOU!!
+Rosette Pine Yes! Why is it so hard to find nice and clean videos these days?
I have no idea, but mind over munch and fab lunch are the only two I've found, and I just enjoy that extra splash of class : )
I'm not a very good cook. It turned pretty aweful.
Rosette Pin
Totally agree!! ❤👍😊
You're awesome! I was dreading cooking butternut squash but you just made it sound so much fun! Believe I will try the poking holes in it like a potato and cooking it in the oven! Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and healthy recipes.
The fact that I'm 2 minutes into this video and I've 2 ways to cook the butternut squash. thank you for being concise!
I really like the' bake it in the oven before cutting it open' method. You're right....squash seems very intimidating. It would be so worth the effort though.
Hope you have a great weekend:))
+Cheryl Hock OMG baking it in the oven first makes it SO easy! Thanks Cheryl! Hope you have a great weekend, too! :)
Lady...YOU are a ray of sunshine.
😻 Thank you, James! I appreciate you!
She was so helpful and explaining how to cook butternut squash thank you so much
You are so welcome!
my first one I microwaved it...its delicious i will do this again...and again love it!!
Too adorable. Thank you so much for this video.
+Brian Davis my pleasure! Thank you!
Informative, educating, entertaining. Presentation given without the waste of viewers time and done so pleasantly. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! 💜
Have the oven on now and totally blanked on what i needed to flavor to bake on the 2nd recipe and came here to get all the answers i needed. Plus i love your attitude. Thanks
great video with all the piece of advice I needed!! thank you very much!
I had never thought about toasting the seeds. It´s a great idea
+Sandri Gómez They're so tasty! I hope you can give them a try :) Cheers!
i just bought 2 butternut squash's yesterday so this video was perfect timing :) looking forward to trying out some of these recipes :))
+Samantha Brown perfect!! I hope you get to give it a try!! :)
This video was so helpful! Thank you! I've never cooked butternut squash before so this was perfect for me. I think I'll do the 3rd method and cook them in cubes.
This video was GREAT!! Learned a lot and did the whole roast one! Thanks 😊
I haven’t cooked butternut squash before, I’m trying the cubed method! 🙂
your videos are so amazing!
+Alisha's Guide thank you!!!
Have never eaten a Butternut Squash, but grew some this past season. I am going to try the cut in half method, bake in the oven, and use a little butter and cinnamon. I cherish sweet potatoes and cook them whole, so I'd probably prefer this method. Thanks for this video.
Great video! Love her adorable and fun personality! I learned a lot and in a short amount of time!
I process butternut squash the same way I do pumpkins. steam them in the instant pot for 8 minutes, puree, and freeze until i need it for baking :)
awesome!
I just started making my own pumpkin and butternut squash puree; came here for some ideas. I really like your instant pot one; will have to try this method next, thanks!
Love butternut squash I grew about 20 of them this year in my garden so easy!
😮That's awesome! How much space do you need to grow so many?
@@mintbutterfly10 my butternut squash plot is only about 3m x 2m and did 5 mounds about a foot apart (ish)
@@lauren9373 Thank you! I plan to add a squash square to our backyard garden for next fall ❤
@@mintbutterfly10 Sounds great, very satisfying growing them from teeny seeds and seeing them all sitting orange and pretty in top of the soil. Good luck for next season 👍
Thank you so much. We grew butternut squash in our garden this summer and we have lots of it. I tried the first method and it turned out perfect. Butternut squash is so delicious. I love it!
Totally! I eat so much of it, always, but especially this time of year!
Ma'am you're silly! And these vids are awesome! I love them! 😆❤
+Mind over Munch thanks for making butternut squash less intimidating for me! What do you recommend serving it with?
Thank you so much Alyssia. Your explanation made it feel fun to cook. Love your sense of humor and warmth. Hope to hear other videos when my next cooking day comes!
Thank you so much!
I've used your 3rd method previously but after I diced them up, rather than in the oven, I've put them in my smaller crock pot with the temp turned to medium for about 6 hours. Frees up your oven during the holiday cooking. ! 😊
6/19/19, I always liked squash but didn't know how to prepare it. Thx. : )
Such a beautiful veggie. love her voice.
It is a beautiful veggie! And thank you! that comment makes my day :) :)
Your welcome :)
Nice.., thank you for taking the time to video about cooking Butternut Squash. I never cooked Butternut Squash but it seems pretty simplex. My friend growing Butternut Squash & it took over half his yard..lol I think I might try cooking them like I would do for my Glazed Sweat Potato side dish with plenty of Brown Sugar.. Thank you again for taking the time to video & give some tips..
You are absolutely amazing in the way you describes your decision cooking, very clear & simple & fun too. Many thanks 💌
So glad I found this channel, learning while laughing,, the best !! I yes, this veggies has always being scary to me...not anymore !
:) awesome! No need to be afraid!
I usually microwave the squash for a few minutes to get it softer to cut and it makes it a LOT easier to cube. I do a butternut squash casserole with kale and turkey sausage, then I do a banging butternut squash soup. Couldn't ever get use to it the sweet way though!
I like butternut squash soup too. I roast (olive oil, salt cayenne pepper--to taste) the squash, onions, garlic and a Granny Smith apple, peeled and cored. Once done, I puree all ingredients with homemade veggie stock. I make sure to cube some of the squash for texture. I have it with a piece of artisan bread. Good stuff. How do you make yours?
@@caraj8949 0h my word, sounds so yummy!
Sounds so yummy!
Thank you for this video!!! My husband came home with 2 butternut squashes someone had given to him. I have never cooked a butternut squash. Your explanations on how to cook them is straight forward and doesn't need any kind of strange ingredients (translation: something I don't already have in my kitchen). - - Edit: I cut it in half and baked it. I served it with butter and cinnamon as a vegetable side dish rather than regular baked potato.
I bought some of these and the place to go to find out how to cook it is YOUR CHANNEL! I love your longer info vids and vids like these. The best resource on YT! That's MIND OVER MUNCH! Always!
WOW that is a huge compliment, thank you so much!! I'm so happy to hear you enjoy and find these videos useful :)
Butternut squash? Yes please!
I like how you have cutco knives...
This is my first dive into making squash. Stayed for the entire video and got several ideas. Thanks, Alyssia! :-)
I'm going to try baking it whole and then cutting it. Looks easiest and fastest. Great energy in the presentation. Love it! After the first time I will try the other options. Thanks.
I cubed it.. Then used it to make vegan mac and cheese
DELICIOUS! So glad it worked out for you!! :)
You ever had butternut squash soup?
+HellthyJunkFood® Yes! I make it throughout the season! :) delicious!!
Just learned of the wonderful butternut squash and have spent 2 weeks exploring how to cook this gourd. Your video is by far the most informative and entertaining. Thank you all you do!
awesome, thank you so much! :)
This is the BEST straight forward video about Squash, i refers to it every year! ty!
The skeleton on your window actually startled me since I was so focused on you. 😅
+Pandora Vex LOL! that's awesome!!
I'm roasting a butternut today to use for butternut squash and mascarpone ravioli with a brown butter sage sauce. :)
+sjhlion sounds AMAZING!
do you have a recipe you would be willing to share?
1 cup mashed, cooked butternut squash
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
1 egg yolk
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (16 ounce) package round wonton wrappers
2 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, unpeeled
chopped fresh sage to taste
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste Place cooked squash into a mixing bowl. Add salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir in mascarpone cheese, egg yolk, and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, mixing until the filling is smoothly combined.
Place a wonton wrapper onto a working surface. Wet the tip of a finger in water, and run it all along the outer edge of the wonton skin to moisten. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of the wonton. Fold the wonton in half to make a half-moon shape, and press the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers.
Place a deep skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in butter and unpeeled clove of garlic. Remove garlic after two minutes and continue on low until butter is slightly brown.
Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Drop the filled raviolis into the boiling water, a few at a time, and cook until they float to the top, about 2 minutes. Drain the raviolis, and transfer them to the skillet. Turn the heat under the skillet up to medium-high, and cook just until the raviolis are infused with garlic flavor, about 2 or 3 more minutes. Sprinkle with chopped sage, more black pepper, and extra Parmesan cheese to taste.
Thank you!
sjhlion please share this recipe
wow! Love the energy. I just wanted to find a boring way to cook a boring old vegetable. Boy did I come to the wrong channel for that! keep it up, it's fantastic!
I have never cooked a Butternut Squash and I am going to try the cube method. Thank you for your cheerful ad that has made it sound easy enough🤔😉❤
Ha Ha.....love those.....nosey neighbors of yours.....!!!
My favorite way is to roast it cut in half lengthwise and then make a little savory (or sweet if you want, maple syrup and cinnamon, yum!) bread pudding mixture and fill the cavity with it.
You can mix in a little lean sausage, sage, rosemary and a nice seedy bread with some egg and milk or water, bake it just like normal (making sure it doesn't burn, so you might want to cover it in foil when it starts to brown) and it's delicious! Plus you can get a little protein in without having to waste another pan!
+Alec Wilder omg yes! That's fantastic! Great tips, thank you :)
I am new to cooking Butternut squash and thanks for the four ways to cook it. I am going to make some now. Doing the cubes method.
First time cooking a Butternut Sq..Thanks for the samples...I am using the first one you showed.
I'm going to try the first method. My friend tried microwaving a butternut squash and it exploded! I think she didn't add enough holes.
Ah yes the exploding squash can happen! Gotta have those holes!
@@MindOverMunch That's why there are so many in our heads 😀
My gourd, enough with the jokes already.
😂😂 you belong here
the only way to tolerate it is to mute it.
She’s quite the gourd-met!
Accept the humor, or else I'll squash you!
We love the second way of cooking squash. Thanks for sharing.
I’m gonna try 3 different ways of your recipes because I have 3 of these Butternut Sqaush!! I’ll take pictures & let you know which 3 I cooked!! Thanks so much!!
I am shocked that she didn't put sugar. In Australia, we put in sugar and butter (yes butttttttttter) ... yum :)
The sugar and butter is always added in last to save calories and actually get a nice taste of it. I know others put cinnamon but I hate that ..... cinnamon belongs in baked goods (LOL)! I will try this this evening for supper :)
cinnamon and sugar with butter on butternut squash is undoubtedly a delicious combo!!
Michelle Ludwig I'm sure it tatstes good but I'm sure sugar and butter isn't the healthiest option
in Belgium the same way :) ! extra butter ( real butter not margarine like some seem to do eww ) and a lot of people use sugar while I use honey instead ...
Mind Over Munch
I agree...& especially in a homemade butternut squash pie! ❤
No not all Australians use sugar, or butter. I am shocked an aussie would think of using sugar on a naturally sweet food
"after you bake it, yo can eat prepare it however you like it" - If I knew how I like it I wouldn't look for recipes lmao
The title of the video is not "Butternut Squash Recipes," it is "How to Cook Butternut Squash." I do have many recipes with butternut squash on my channel and in my ebooks, check them out if you'd like :) Thanks for watching!
I was joking. No offense.
I thought the same thing too lol
♥️thank you for this...love your spirit✨
Oh my this is a great video. Thank you so much for showing a simple way to cook squash without killing your hands cutting it.
My pleasure! Glad this is useful for you! :)
"and its a vegetable". Its a fruit though :P.
Yes it is!
Do you really talk like that?? I love how you talk
haha, thank you! Yes!
I keep coming back to this video. Awesome and quick instructions and a bonus seed tip too! FYI, my oven took over 35 minutes with the halving method to soften inside.
First time, think I will try it whole. Thanks this really helped
I would recommend that you should not put olive oil on it if you are going to bake it at 400° F, as this is beyond the smoke point of olive oil.
yes, light olive oil is fine though as it has a higher smoke point. I would avoid using extra virgin olive oil at high temperatures.
Butternun
John Doe what should we use instead?
First timer 🥳
I’m going to try halfs and bake with coconut oil or maple syrup, black pepper and Himalayan pink salt and a dash of iodized salt.
Thanks for the video
This the first time I cook butternut squash ... I chose the third option .... I like it it is very delicious
Thank you so much. I make my baby her food and decided to do squash and breastmilk purée. I just didn’t even know where to start with the butternut squash. I shall cook it whole. No additives. This method is brilliant and much appreciated. Thank you so much.
Great explanation. Cooking it today and thanks for the bonus recipe The seeds, I will try it today👍
Great video, I made it half way in the microwave while preheating the oven.
Then baked it at 400 for 20 mins with cinnamon and brown sugar.
Yummy
YUM sounds delicious! Glad you tried it out!
Very engaging presentation here, my friend! I'm a 1st-timer, prompted by my friend who frequently Bakes a Butternut. My local store has resisted my quest for emulation by being sans-squash for the last 4 shopping ventures, either whole or pre-cubed. Today, aha! Success! I'm quite glad I found this episode of yours and will
proceed amply advised. Thank you!
Yay! Love the tips here Alyssia! Gonna try the cubed method today. :)
+Karen Sequeira yay! I hope you enjoy!!
Cutco's Hardy Slicer is definitely the best knife for this job. Love to see some Cutco representation!!!
Thank you, just can't wait to try.
You are so bubbly and I like your personality. I am new at trying squash and you have made it easy to enjoy. Thank you
You are an absolute doll! Thank you for the four recipes and the bonus.
thank you! :)
Loved your video, Straight to the point. I am definatly tring the cubed way. exactly what i was looking for. Thank you!
thanks so much!
It is finally in the oven. It's been sitting on my counter throughout the winter. It is in the oven tonight, cut and covered with olive oil, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon. It is becoming a side dish for meatloaf and rice. I really love your video here.
+June JulyAugust yay! I'm so glad you're trying it out, thank you!!
NEVER cooked a butter nut, but I'm gonna try the split, clean, season, n bake method. THANKS FOR UR VIDEO! 👌
Alyssia, I actually cook my butternut squash a different way. I cut it in half raw, place downside on a sheet pan. I prepp it by rubbing a little olive oil and in the hole wjere the seeds were, I place a handful of cinnamon basil. I also use it with sweet potatoes. Absolutely delicious!
I just harvested my crop of butternut squash, yesterday I cut one in half sprinkled with salt and pepper then wrapped in foil and placed cut side down on my grill for about 45 minutes, they turned out excellent! Thanks for the video by the way
I've never cooked one before but I do roast my own pumpkins for puree (so that I can control salt and preservatives) so I would probably do the cut in half method! Also I think that you should totally do a butternut squash recipes video!
I'm going to try making it whole :) Thank you!
Ok so this tutorial video has been super helpful. I am cooking butternut squash for the first time and I chose to bake the whole squash. Super easy!
thank you!
making for the family again today, they love it. i added Herbs de Provence which went over in a big way. thx!!!
