ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH PECANS

April 2, 2018

A testament to how good butternut squash is is how obnoxious I find peeling and de-seeding it, and yet I still cook with it. And quite often! Also they’re not the cheapest gourd in the bunch, but I still reach for them year round. But oh how they’re worth it. I love the sweetness with the heartiness. And dealing with the core is so cumbersome, I started picking one that has a very small bulb and wide long part so I can just throw away the core and use everything from the long tube part.

It barely loses any squash but it much easier and faster.
