Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Squash Prep Perfection 🔪
    Use a sturdy vegetable peeler to remove the tough skin, and stabilize the squash by cutting a flat base to prevent rolling while cutting.
  • Caramelization Magic 🍯
    For maximum flavor development, spread squash pieces in a single layer with space between them to ensure proper caramelization and avoid steaming.
  • Spice Bloom Technique 🌶️
    Gently warm the pumpkin pie spice with melted butter before tossing with squash to unlock deeper, more complex flavor profiles.
  • Sugar Coating Trick 🍂
    Sprinkle brown sugar towards the end of roasting to prevent burning and create a beautiful caramelized glaze that doesn't turn bitter.
  • Perfect Doneness Check 🥄
    Test squash doneness by piercing with a fork - it should slide in easily with minimal resistance, indicating perfect tender-crisp texture.
