The fall is here and with it an abundance of beautiful winter squashes. Mind you, the name is a little misleading as the squashes are actually harvested in fall; however thanks to their thick skin they survive winter (hence the name). These robust gourds come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors and textures. They’re super delicious, easy to prepare, and very healthy! I decided to put together an ultimate guide to the most popular squashes and support it with a variety of recipes from some very talented bloggers.

The thick skin may pose a challenge for someone who has have never cooked with squashes, but don’t feel intimidated. This guide will help you learn how to peel it, cut it, cook it and serve it.

So let’s get started and take a closer look into this ultimate guide to most popular squashes. I chose to feature: Butternut Squash, Acorn Squash, Spaghetti Squash, Delicata Squash, and Sugar Pumpkin, as they can be found in every supermarket and there are a lot of amazing recipes to chose from.

Not to be totally forgotten though, I will also present you with Buttercup Squash and why it is often mistaken with Kaboucha Squash. In addition, I also stumbled on beautiful Sweet Dumpling Squash in my local farmers market, that refused to be ignored by this post. I will also list other squashes and where to find guides for them.

Health Benefits

Before diving into recipes, let’s take a look at some amazing health benefits of ALL winter squashes:

  • They’re superfoods with incredible antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, including beta carotene, which converts into vitamin A;
  • They’re high in vitamin C, which always helps in the winter months to avoid colds and flu;
  • They provide a tremendous amount of potassium, which is good for bone heath;
  • They provide vitamin B6 for a super immune system boost;
  • They’re packed with fiber, which is heart friendly and helps with digestion;
  • They are also high in folate, which is very important during pregnancy; folate is a water-soluble B vitamin.

Most Popular Winter Squashes

Without further ado, let’s take a closer look at the most popular winter squashes:

Butternut Squash

How to buy it?

Butternut Squash looks like a pear or a bell and its skin is bright and smooth. When cut, it’s flesh is orange and it smells amazing. To buy, look for a squash that is heavy and doesn’t have cracks or soft spots.

How to peel it?

You can peel butternut squash with a vegetable peeler. To make it easier to handle, you can cut the neck from the bottom and peel each section separately.

You can also follow the steps provided by Simple Recipes in the post: How to Peel and Cut Butternut Squash. In it they offer the creative suggestion of microwaving the whole butternut squash for 30 seconds before peeling.

You can also watch this video tutorial: How to Quickly Peel, Seed and Cut Butternut Squash.

How to cook it?

Here you have options. It can be roasted, steamed, or boiled. It is most frequently used to make soups. It can also be used as a sweet potato substitute in recipes. Below you can find a variety of recipes showing you how to do this.

How does it taste? 

Butternut Squash has sweet, nutty flavor. Its taste is similar to that of a sweet potato.

Acorn Squash

How to buy it?

Acorn Squash (a.k.a., ‘Pepper Squash’) resembles an acorn and hence its name. It comes in small sizes and usually weights between 1 to 2 pounds. It normally has dark green and orange skin. Try to find a firm one that feels heavy for its size and has no blemishes. You can store it for several months in a cool, dry, dark spot.

How to peel it?

It is not worth it to peel an acorn squash because its shape, with little nooks and thin flush, present some serious challenges. Rather, its much better to just cut it in half or into the little moon shapes, and simply roast it. The skin is also edible. However, if you want to try peeling it, I found this video tutorial on How to Peel, Seed and Cut Pepper Squash (Acorn Squash) useful.

How to cook it?

The best way to cook acorn squash is to roast it. Then you can either stuff it or scoop out the flesh and use it for soups, casseroles or salads (even with the skin). Below you can find a variety of recipes showing you how to do this.

How does it taste?

Acorn squash has mild flavor which is a little sweet and nutty.

Buttercup Squash vs. Kabucha Squash

Which one is it?

Guide to Winter Squashes - Though they may seem unapproachable for many, once you unlock their potential you'll surely enjoy the possibilities! - Innocent Delight

Buttercup Squash is often mistaken with Japanese Pumpkin (a.k.a., ‘Kabucha Squash’). They look pretty similar but they are actually fairly different.

Buttercup is a much drier and milder taste than Kabucha Squash. It is best to be cubed and added to stews or roasted.

Kabucha Squash, however, is sweeter than Buttercup and has beautiful orange flesh.

See this post Kabucha vs Buttercup from Healthier Eats Almond Butter to see the difference.

This is obviously not a complete guide to winter squashes. I chose only those which are the most popular and easy to find. There actually is an abundance different winter squashes, beyond those featured above. For example: Sweet Dumpling Squash (pictured immediately above), Hubbard, Banana Squash, Gold Nugget Squash, and Turban Squash. Below you can see some of the recipes for this medley of squashes that I was able to find for you:

  • On Valentines Day I always cook. For two reasons: first, every restaurant is trying to maximize their earnings on this day and everything is well overpriced and second and I think more important is that I show love through my cooking. My husband makes healthy choices when it comes to his diet, but on the special occasions he always requests a good piece or red meat. This Pan Seared Ribeye screams V-Day for us. I served it with @mahoncheese sauce (#ad)⁣

  • For the last few days my 5-year-old keeps telling me that he wants to make pizza with me. We do it sometimes, he helps out with rolling the dough, spreading the sauce and adding cheese. And then he wants to eat it all. Now I think that I don't have any more excuses as @delallofoods just informed me that this is the National Pizza Day. YEY for Pizza Day!!!⁣

  • Do you have a dish that you used to eat in your favorite restaurant years ago? For me it goes about 20 years back when I found broccoli in cheesy sauce in my beloved Italian restaurant in my hometown in Poland. I would want to go there every week and have broccoli with a side of bread and just indulge. I wanted to recreate this dish for years and I finally got it right. When I made this Cheesy Broccoli Au Gratin for my husband for the first time, he finished, looked at me and said: "this is some broccoli!" Now, he requests this often. It's sooo good!⁣

  • This was one of the first recipes I have published on my blog, back in May 2014 and it was THE FIRST one accepted by @Foodgawker to feature in their gallery. I was beyond myself. I think that my food photography improved a lot since then but I still think it was a pretty good shot (maybe I got lucky there). Anyways, I wanted to tell you about this recipe because this is something so unique but also decadent and really delicious. It's PESTO made from dry porcini and fresh mushrooms, with roasted garlic, toasted walnuts, Pecorino cheese, parsley and olive oil and it's topped on French bread and covered with amazing Fontina cheese and toasted so the cheese is super gooey. Seriously, super delicious!⁣
