Thanksgiving is almost here! Even if you aren’t planning to head out to be with family and friends this year, you can make a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner at home. Roast these lovely autumn squashes for a special occasion, or just make them part of your autumnal family dinner. We go over our favorite autumn squashes and how to roast them to perfection.
Delicata squash, while technically a winter squash, is often prepared during the autumn or early winter as a delicious squash. It is also called the peanut squash, sweet potato squash, or Bohemian squash. It’s usually yellow with green stripes. The best part about a delicata squash is no peeling! That makes this an easy squash to prepare, and great if you’re in a pinch.
Acorn squashes are also winter squashes, and are usually green or yellow with a distinctive acorn shape to them. This squash is also sometimes called a pepper squash. Acorn squashes are full of fiber and can be prepared to be savory or sweet. Once the squash is roasted, you can eat the flesh, so you won’t need to peel it.
You are likely familiar with the lovely squash known as butternut squash! This butterscotch colored squash is often peanut-shaped and is a common favorite squash for Thanksgiving dinner and more. Unlike the other two squashes, the butternut squash requires peeling before being eaten, so it’s a little more work, but most people love butternut squash for good reason.
We hope this post helps to give you some ideas for your autumn dinners and Thanksgiving! Let us know how you’re celebrating in the comments.
