Squash: how do you cook or make it?

Just throw a whole winter squash in the oven for around forty minutes and cut it open after that.
Comes out moist and tender when you cut it.
Summer squash, like zucchini, just slice it over whatever you're cooking and cook the main dish as normal.
 
Golden nugget (a legacy breed developed by the University of Iowa)

Extremely hard, sweet and dry, deep orange and could keep in cellar all winter

Chop in half butter on a baking sheet and bake in oven.

Far better taste and texture than any modern squash breed. Just add butter, no sweetener required.
 
I love cooking in little bit coconut’s t oil. Bread with panko bread crumbs and egg wash. Very tasty. It makes a great soup also.
Sliced about 1/4” thick with onion slices about 1/4” thick. Place in deep cast iron skillet with two to three tablespoons of bacon grease, add salt and a good amount of black pepper. Sauté until limp and tender.
This is for summer squash (yellow crook neck).

Yellow squash
Peel the skin in 1/2" strips with 1/2" gaps. MEANING: Leave half the skin on.
Slice thinly. 1/8" and go for thin angles.
Do the same with white/yellow onions.
It'll be wet enough to go into a saucepan with just a bit of butter, S&P.

Along the lines of MParr's recipe above but simpler.

Real simple....completely fresh....authentically Southern.

Winner!
Easily the healthiest method too!

Butternut and acorn usually for us. Cut in half and clean out the seeds, oven for 40 minutes to an hour for the squash. Rinse the seeds and clean off any obvious strands, spread on baking sheet and sprinkle with a bit of pepper. Seeds in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until there are a few pops.
