I never knew the skin was edible, I've always sliced these to 1/2 Bowls and brushed the inside with Maple Syrup and then cut a tablespoon of butter to add for the last 2 minutes of cooking, we always scraped out all the flesh and left the skin...this new info could really change stuff up. THANX
Thanks for showing in details everything I needed to know about cutting and baking the squash. I love acorn squash since it's the closest type of squash to one we have in South America that doesn't exist here in the US. I used to just cook it whole in the pressure cooker since I never wanted to attempt to cut it. But today I wanted to try it baked. None of the other videos I'd seen showed any useful information about how to cut, or make it with (toppings) as much as you did! I absolutely love squash! Mine cooked in just 35 min!
That's great that it worked out for you and that I was able to pass on some helpful info. They do cook pretty quick especially when cut up. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!
OMG....I so needed a vegetable to go with a fancy dinner I'm creating for a friend's birthday, and THIS IS IT!!! Love, love, love your video's....you are one cool chef!!
I’m a big fan who lives in a small town in Northern Wisconsin. Many of the stores and brands you mention are not available to me here. But, you explain the qualities of the ingredients so well that I can generally find something that works as well. You also give plenty of latitude for folks to tweak your recipes as we need or want. And there’s always online shopping! 😁👍
Thank you for these recipes I just harvested like 40 of these babies and usually we just freeze them for stir fries and such but I’m going to make these :). Another good way to use them up is deep fried in tempura batter :)
I love acorn Squash! Well I am 52 and never cooked one before. I have been looking at the 2 I bought a week ago and today I figured they can't just be a holiday decoration! Thanks for this video! I now feel like I can jump in and get to eat my squash!
I bet a lot of people think that when walking through the stores. I figured I'd make a recipe that doesn't involve stuffing them this year. Thanks for watching!
I'm actually using the half-moon version with Mascarpone,and tthey're prepped, oven heating up and Mascarpone cheese is the way to go for me, thanks for the recipe I subscribed jusf after watching this channel 1st time.
I’m 62 and tasted my first actor squash yesterday. I kept it simple. Wasn’t really sure what I was doing.🤣 Roasted in the oven with some. EVOO and salt and pepper. Was delicious.
I haven't found a way of cooking squash that I like, I keep trying different squashes, I'm still holding out hope! I don't want to waste ingredients incase it ruins everything, so this will be the way to go.
I know this is an old video but I was searching for an acorn squash recipe today so here we are LOL. anyway - I love acorn squash my mom used to make it often growing up but she only ever made it one way: halves baked in the oven with butter and brown sugar. I love that but I was looking for something savory. I made mine today cut in slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, a little bit of sweet curry powder, and a whisper of cinnamon - they turned out delicious. Your ricotta and hazelnut one looks SO good and I can't wait to try that one soon. Thank you!
One of the best things about the acorn squash for us is that it can last from harvest to March of next year no special treatment. I kept mine in the floor joists in my storage pantry in basement. I put up green coated wire and put them on that in between the joists. I had so many we finished the last in March, they do turn orangish yellow. the biggest problem was the freaking squash bugs and bores you have to fight here in C IL. I grew them along the sun facing side of our 3' garden fencing, they trellised on it as we trained it along the fence. My favorite squash by far, cut in half butter/maple or brown sugar is all you need. But you can use them in soups, stuff them and many more recipes.
Ok just have to say love this channel and all recipes so far! But I must say - I cut up and roast butternut squash with the skins on and it is delicious but must peel for all other recipes. Thank you for a great channel.
You CAN eat the outer skin on a butternut squash if you cook it well enough. I was surprised by that but I followed a Jamie Oliver video for a vegetable casserole where he bakes and uses the entire thing (seeds removed) and it was fantastic.
That's great! Hope it works out. I believe I mention that if you're uncomfortable cutting it, throw it in the microwave for a few minutes. That softens the skin, making it far easier to cut.
That was great and had I seen your recipe first, that would have been the way I cooked my acorn squash tonight. Next time! Though I'm vegan, I've subscribed because you come across as such a nice dude and hopefully, will do some vegan recipes
ABSOLUTELY LOVE WATCHING YOU!!❣ JUST AN FYI , THE CLOSEST TRADER JOE'S TO HATTIESBURG MISSISSIPPI, IS IN LOUISIANA 2 HRS AWAY !!🤔🤔 NOT EVERYONE HAS THE LUXURY OF WONDERFUL GROSERY STORES.... WE ONLY HAVE 3 CHOICES , WAL-MART, WINN DIXIE, AND COUNTRY MARKET .. I ENVY YOU....
Yum, thank you for sharing! I'm looking forward to trying your acorn squash dishes! Only thing missing is a Trader Joe's, ha! Who doesn't love that store! The good news is we have a great store called the Grain Train a Natural Foods Market here in Petoskey, Michigan! Thanks again! Happy Thanksgiving!
You can also boil them for a little bit it helps you cut through them very easily I just had one for dinner … vegan butter coconut sugar and a drizzle of maple 🍁
I'm baffled at the idea of not eating butternut squash skin. After being cut in half and roasting for an hour, the skin is delightfully papery, like a delicate pastry - almost like croissant skin. I'm not aware of any harmful chemicals or compounds that would present a danger, so I see no reason to deny yourself a tasty and nutritious treat.
Yes that will work fine. If you have visible dirt, definitely give it a good cleaning. Most acorn squash I've come across is sold precleaned and with an edible wax sealant applied.
Yes you could warm up the pieces, at 325f for about 10 minutes, but I would hold off on the toppings until serving. Otherwise the ricotta would spill out. Enjoy!
I never knew the skin was edible, I've always sliced these to 1/2 Bowls and brushed the inside with Maple Syrup and then cut a tablespoon of butter to add for the last 2 minutes of cooking, we always scraped out all the flesh and left the skin...this new info could really change stuff up. THANX
Damn!! That's exactly what I was gonna comment, that's how we do it in CNY!
It’s so nice to see men cooking. I would hate to grow up and always have women cooking on UA-cam. Thank you for your service.

I really appreciate your producing these excellent videos, Jim. I am happy to watch them! Thank you so much. They all looked delicious. - Marilyn

Thanks so much! Appreciate you watching and hope this works out well for your friends birthday!
Thank you! Love your personality and delivery by the way. Now I feel like I can successfully tackle this squash.
Thanks very much!
Looks fantastic. Fried sage leaves are so underrated. Happy you included them here.
Love them! They only take a few seconds to fry up!

I made this tonight and WOW! 🤩 It was delicious~best thing I’ve ever made. Thank you!
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
I can't tell you how good both these acorn squash dishes look. Mouthwatering! Making soon. Thanks!
Thanks for this - got 2 big beautiful acorn squashes for free and had no idea what to do with them. Excited to give these a try!
Thanks hope you enjoy it!

@@SipandFeast I bought this today bc they didn’t have pumpkins yet 😂 I was gonna stuff it.
Looks delicious. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
I love this guy
Amazing style. Going to go and cook my first acorn squash!! Going with the parm and sage. Thank you!
Sounds great! Hope you enjoy it.
I'm actually using the half-moon version with Mascarpone,and tthey're

I was just gifted in acorn squash and didn't know what to do with it. Thanks for the advice
Hope you enjoy the recipe!
I’m 62 and tasted my first actor squash yesterday. I kept it simple. Wasn’t really sure what I was doing.🤣 Roasted in the oven with some. EVOO and salt and pepper. Was delicious.
It's great just like that. These two versions are only a bit more involved but still the same principle.
I haven't found a way of cooking squash that I like, I keep trying different squashes, I'm still holding out hope! I don't want to waste ingredients incase it ruins everything, so this will be the way to go.
OMG!!! Fancy and look so yummy - I Love squash and did it very simple > Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Great recipe I bought the squash so I'm finally gonna make it this week
I think you’re better than Gordon Ramsay. Thank you for making videos. You are a talent, for sure. Little James, the Taste Tester is adorable.
Fabulous, I never tried these and didn't know how until now. This looks easy and so good, thanks for posting.
Thanks! Hope you enjoy it!
Had no idea what to do with my squash… thanks for this video. You’re a great cook!
But sadly, no Trader Joe’s nearby :( lol
Thanks and don't worry about no Trader Joe's. I'm sure the other ingredients can be found in many places.
You have a great sense of humor, makes watching you exciting! The recipe looks great except for the Hazel nuts.
This guy must be a drill sergeant?? He’s obviously a no nonsense man!!!

Both recipes look AMAZING!
Thanks very much!
OMG this looks so good I can't wait to make this
I boil these with brown sugar, refrigerate, and eat them with oat milk. Taste like sweet potato dessert.
Will you make tiramisu? My favorite dessert in the universe.
Yes, it's on our list of recipes to shoot. We love it too!
Excellent job! Baking them now!
You CAN eat the outer skin on a butternut squash if you cook it well enough. I was surprised by that but I followed a Jamie Oliver video for a vegetable casserole where he bakes and uses the entire thing (seeds removed) and it was fantastic.
I didn't know acorn squash skins were edible. Thanks!
Wow, looks so good! Thanks for the ideas.
Thanks very much!
Damn that looks good. I'll be trying this later this week for sure.
I hope you enjoy it!
Grapefruit spoon and works great for scraping out inside😊!
I finally got a sharp knife today!
That's great! Hope it works out. I believe I mention that if you're uncomfortable cutting it, throw it in the microwave for a few minutes. That softens the skin, making it far easier to cut.
Awesome !
Yummy! I hope to make those for my family coming to visit but I'll be the test dummy for now.
Hope the test turns out great!
Looks absolutely fabulous! I never knew the rind is edible, prob lots more fiber if u eat it!
A grapefruit spoon to remove seeds makes for light work. 🌺
So so yummy! Love your video!
Thanks so much!
I eat the skin of roasted butternut squash - it softens up a lot.
That was great and had I seen your recipe first, that would have been the way I cooked my acorn squash tonight. Next time! Though I'm vegan, I've subscribed because you come across as such a nice dude and hopefully, will do some vegan recipes

What is that white spread 11:20?
You can also boil them for a little bit it helps you cut through them very easily I just had one for dinner … vegan butter coconut sugar and a drizzle of maple 🍁
You don’t use freshly grated pepper?… huh…

I'm not aware of any harmful chemicals or compounds that would present a danger, so I see no reason to deny yourself a tasty and nutritious treat.
I added cinnamon and nutmeg mixture. Also Chinese 5-spice with cinnamon is good. Mix with very light maybe a tablespoon of brown sugar.
What knife do you recommend to cut acorn squash with??
Is there another type of nut I can substitute for Hazelnut? Would Pepitas or Peacans work?
You made that look to good.
You can eat butternut squash skin, it delicious roasted
What is the best way to clean the wax coating off?
It's completely edible and probably cooks mostly off. I think it could be scrubbed off with a damp towel, but haven't attempted it.
Gonna roast em with lemon zest and rosemary
Not everyone has a Trader Joe’s near them...and I don’t live in the country...but thanks for the recipe looks yummy
I know. I should of said that. Thanks for saying it looks good!
Not one Trader Joe’s in my entire state and I do live in the country.
No Trader Joe’s near fortsmith Arkansas I wish
🙌
What do you clean it with? Just water and a paper towel or something else?
Yes that will work fine. If you have visible dirt, definitely give it a good cleaning. Most acorn squash I've come across is sold precleaned and with an edible wax sealant applied.
Can you air fry the squash?
Fabbb👍
If I wanted to warm them up before thanksgiving dinner when I get to the house... how would I do that.. pop them in the oven for a couple min?
Yes you could warm up the pieces, at 325f for about 10 minutes, but I would hold off on the toppings until serving. Otherwise the ricotta would spill out. Enjoy!
The boats could be called gondolas
LOL, no Trader Joe's here.
No Trader Joe's in my area
im gonna make the honey one .... better be good..
Not really,I live in the desert and we don't have big stores
Lol no trader joes in alaska
Sorry no Trader Joe's within an hour+ drive.
Nope! Never even heard of Trader Joe’s.
Trader Joe's is an American grocery store.
@@SipandFeast
Well I have worked and lived all over the northwest and I’ve never heard of them.
Come on dude… Adjust your camera and stop leaning down (almost) into the skillet. What’s up with that lean? It’s distracting from your cooking!
I'll take my time machine back and tell my old self.
Let's turn to God. Shepherdschapel YT explains whole bible God bless.
