Butternut Squash Question

Dave Bugg said:

Approximately how long does it take (in a 350F oven) for a butternut
squash (cut in half length-wise), to finish cooking? I thank-you in
advance for advice.

About an hour at 350F. Poke it with a fork. If the meatiest part is
tender, it's done.

Depending on the size, one hour (for maybe a 1.5-2 pounder) to one and
a half (larger). The good thing is that if it's in a little longer
than needed, it's still good (even a little better, IMHO).

Happy roasting,
Kris, who just finished making her squash bisque for tomorrow

'Preciate it, Kris. The bisque sounds wonderful. :-)

You're welcome 🙂 I cook a lot of butternut squash. It's very tasty! It's
good scooped out of the shell and mashed with just butter, salt & pepper.
Some folks like to turn it into a sweet thing and add brown sugar and
pumpkin pie-like seasonings. However you like it, an hour if it's split in
half should do the trick unless the squash is really large. Oh, and scoop
the seeds and pulp out of the squash before roasting it.

It also makes a fantastic rich soup with a little persuasion from some
cream and nutmeg.

Sorta the vegetable version of remembering to remove the giblet packets from
the turkey :-)

I've never done that, btw. Well....not more than once, anyway

Depends on the configuration. With longer smaller diameter shapes
about an hour to an hour and a half... with squatter fatter ones the
time can be increased about half an hour... I like them coked until
the skin becomes crisp, I eat the skin. You can also stuff the
hollowed out seed cavity with a link's worth of crumbled breakfast
sausage. I also like to set out like a half dozen halves on my weber
and smoke them slowly over like 3-4 hours -- they dry out and become
dense like smoked gouda only low calorie.

Last year, my husband (well, we was not married yet) forgot to take the
giblet packet out of the turkey. I forgot to mention that in the Happy
Thanksgiving message I posted. I will have to add that next year. He
will be thrilled. Not.

It depends on how long they've been in there in the first place.

I turn it into a thick, substantial soup with eastern spices and peanut
butter. Soooo good.

Butternut is one of my favourite vegetables.

And roast those seeds like pumpkin seeds--yummy! I just roasted a butternut
squash a week and a half ago. I cleaned the seeds the same way I clean
pumpkin seeds, salted them, and threw them onto the cookie sheet next to the
squash. After 30-45 minutes in the oven, they were done--crispy and
delicious! I think I prefer them to pumpkin seeds.

I'll admit it. I did it one year. Didn't hurt the turkey at all...just
made me feel silly when I realized what I did.

I usually chop mine up into 1.5" cubes, then they go in the pan with
butter and brown sugar in a 350F oven for approximately an hour.

Chop it half, scoop out the guts score the flesh, fill the cavity
with butter, brown sugar, & then drizzle a little genuine maple syrup
over it. Put in a baking pan with a little water in the bottom & cook
at 350° for about 1 hr......mmm mmm good!
