Squash is much more than a simple ingredient for comforting soups or mashed potatoes. Its diversity of shapes and flavors makes it a real treasure in the kitchen.
Let these original ideas inspire you to rediscover this seasonal vegetable in a whole new light!
Stuffed squash with barley and vegetables
Give squash pride of place by stuffing it with a mixture of barley and sautéed vegetables. Sprinkle with grated cheese, then bake until the squash is tender and the top is gratinated.
Salty squash and cheese tart
Use sliced squash in a savory pie with the cheese of your choice and caramelized onions. This tart, both sweet and savory, is ideal for a comforting autumn meal.
Oven-roasted squash fries
For a change from the classic potato fries, cut the squash into sticks, season with your favorite spices, then roast in the oven until golden and crispy.
Soft pumpkin cake
Pumpkin also has a place in desserts! Replace bananas in a traditional loaf of bread with baked pumpkin purée for a moist cake, ideal on cool autumn days.
Grilled squash pizza
For a bold pizza, top it with thin slices of roasted squash, accompanied by goat cheese, pine nuts and arugula for an explosion of flavor.
Squash Smoothie
Innovative and delicious, the squash smoothie is an amazing morning start. Blend pureed squash with milk, a fruit of your choice, and a touch of honey or maple syrup for a smooth drink.
