How to Store Butternut Squash
Learn how to store butternut squash correctly to ensure that you get to enjoy its amazing flavor for as long as possible. Butternut squash is an incredibly versatile fruit that can be used in soups, pies, and side dishes. With just a few easy steps you can keep your butternut squash fresh for weeks!
Equipment
- 1 Air-Tight Glass Container
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash
Instructions
- Cut the squash into cubes and place the cubes into a glass container that has an air-tight lid.
- Pour about 1/4 inch of cold water onto the bottom of the container. This will help prevent the squash from drying out while stored. Try not to put too much water as it could make the squash become soggy.
- Take 1-2 paper towels and place them under water to make them wet. Then, lay them on top of the cubes covering as much as you can.
- Place the lid onto the container and store it in the fridge. They will be good for 5-7 days.
Christina's Notes
- Uncut Squash Lasts Longer: If you don't have to use your butternut squash right away, and it's whole and uncut, you can store it for 1-3 months at room temperature away from sunlight.
- Save the Seeds: When cutting the butternut squash, hold onto the seeds to use them for future recipes like roasted pumpkin seeds.
