Butternut squash doesn’t need to be refrigerated, but should be stored in a cool dark place and can last for up to several weeks. When selecting in the store, inspect its skin and ensure that it is firm and free of bruises. Also, be sure to check for brown frostbite scars, which can affect the squash’s texture and longevity, and punctures or cuts, which can let bacteria in and cause mold.
Ben Saven’s Roasted Butternut Squash Bisque
I love this recipe because it is SO easy and festive for fall. Roasting the vegetables in the oven is quick, simple, and creates a soup packed full of flavor! Switching up the vegetable combination can be a great too (i.e. substitute carrots or sweet potatoes for the potatoes.)
