How to cook butternut squash? Easy! Just roast it and turn it into a yogurt dip! This roasted butternut squash is a healthy dip for the football season.

I find that butternut is the hardest vegetable to work with. Every time I cut butternut squash, I seem to get a new cut on my hand.

So, what is the best way to cook butternut squash?

In my experience, the best way to cook it is by roasting it.

When I say “roasting”, I am not referring to the comedic act of making it sit on a chair and having other vegetables berate it with cruel jokes.

Although, that would be funny thing to do. Can you imagine the butternut sitting there and grimacing at all the jokes?

No, I am referring to the literal sense of the word, “roasting”. Nothing brings out the squash’s natural taste and juices quite like roasting. Additionally, roasting a butternut squash makes the skin soft and easy to remove.

Side note: this roasted butternut squash dip can also double as a spread for your sandwiches. In fact, I have also used it as a hummus substitute on many occasions.

Once I have the butternut squash in cubes, I like to mix it up with all the spices and garlic. The aroma that comes out of my kitchen when these beauties are roasting reminds me of fall in upstate New York.

Time for a short detour to interject a little whining….

I MISS NEW YORK!!!!!
