Notes & Variations on Simple, Steamed Squash Or Pumpkin

Make sure you have removed all the pips before cooking, or these can make the squash taste bitter.

Steaming is the best way to cook butternut squash, as it preserves the vitamins well.

If you prefer, you can cut the squash into 1 cm slices, instead of chopping.
