Baking Squash and Pumpkins

Baking SquashThere are many ways that our customers cook their pumpkin or squash, here is our favourite method:

  1. Wash squash or pumpkin and place on baking sheet that has a lip to catch any liquid that is released during baking.
  2. Pierce the skin with a fork 3 or 4 times.
  3. Bake in oven at 350ºF for an hour (depending on size of squash or pumpkin). Fork can easily be inserted when done.
  4. Cut in half and scoop out seeds.
  5. Scoop out flesh of squash or pumpkin and pureé in food processor or with a masher or cube it. If it is spaghetti squash the flesh will be stringy and ready to eat in that form.
