A Collection of Squash Recipes

Some meals capture the essence of autumn in every bite—comforting, nostalgic, and warm. Casserole. Soup. Pumpkin pie. The flavors of fall.

As the seasons change and we begin craving cold-weather comfort food, squash is a staple ingredient to keep on hand. Hearty and warming, different varieties can be a great way to add antioxidants, fiber, and other nutrients to a meal while embracing the best of autumn’s harvest.

From grilled and roasted to pureed, baked, or boiled, we’ve pulled together a few well-loved squash recipes from Jo and our friends from Magnolia Network to add to your rotation this fall. Enjoy!
