Favorite Squash Recipes to Make this Fall

There are so many wonderful meals we can make at this time of the year, using fresh squash as a main ingredient. From hearty soups to delicious side dishes, creamy risottos, to healthy fall salads and even desserts, this is one of the most anticipated ingredients that I look forward to cooking with each fall!

There are so many types of squash from which to choose, each with a different flavor profile: Butternut squash, Delicata squash, Honeynut squash, Spaghetti squash, Acorn squash, to just name just a few.  Here is a roundup of my Favorite Squash Recipes to Make this Fall!

Favorite Squash Recipes to Make this Fall

One-Skillet Potato and Squash Medley with Harissa

This popular Tunisian potato and squash medley is a very satisfying one-skillet dish and is just perfect for this time of the year!  If you add harissa, it makes it a spicier version of the French ratatouille with the addition of a couple of poached eggs on top!

Creamy Risotto with Roasted Butternut Squash

A classic Italian dish that combines creamy Arborio rice, caramelized butternut squash, crispy sage, Parmesan cheese, and toasted pine nuts for a hearty and satisfying vegetarian main dish, or, a side dish to a larger dinner.  I added a leek and shallots, which give a sweet undertone to this dish.

Warm Barley and Roasted Butternut Squash Salad

This warm salad combines a hearty grain (pearl barley) with oven-roasted squash, caramelized red onion wedges, pomegranate seeds, tangy Greek Feta cheese, and a simple pomegranate dressing.  This colorful and healthy salad is a great combination of textures and flavors!

Easy Strudel with Butternut Squash, Sage and Sausage

A delicious strudel with a butternut squash and sausage filling wrapped up in crispy filo dough makes a comforting and very satisfying fall dish.  Constructing a savory strudel might seem complicated, but it is really quite easy, especially if you do not need to make the dough.

Roasted Butternut Squash and Apple Soup

Roasting caramelizes the butternut squash, the shallots, and the apples giving them a deep, rich flavor that cannot be achieved by any other cooking method.  At the end of the cooking, the addition of a little maple syrup, a pinch of nutmeg, and a drizzle of cream rounds out the flavors.  This is the first soup which I make each fall!

Delicata Squash with Honey and Stilton

The sweet, caramelized flavor of this roasted Delicata squash practically begs to be paired with something crunchy and something salty.  In this simple recipe, sharp Stilton cheese and some toasted nuts really elevate the flavor and texture of this delicious fall vegetable.

Maple Roasted Acorn Squash with Feta and Pine nuts

The beautiful, fluted edges of Acorn squash stand out even more after roasting.  This maple-flavored, sweet and nutty side dish topped with Feta cheese and pine nuts, is a great addition to any fall table!

Pumpkin Custard Crinkle Filo Pie

In this fall dessert, sweet pumpkin custard is paired with crispy layers of buttered “crinkled” filo pastry and baked to a crispy perfection.  Thin slices of butternut squash are tucked between the creases of filo, for a nice, textural contrast and more pumpkin flavor.  This is a great recipe for a leisurely weekend brunch, or, for the perfect ending to a fall dinner!

Best-Ever Pumpkin Bread with Chocolate Chips 

The recipe for pumpkin bread calls for staple ingredients that you most probably already have in your pantry and refrigerator:  flour, eggs, milk, sugar, butter, cinnamon, cloves, and chocolate chips.  This delicious and easy-to-make fall treat, is something we look forward to each year to enjoy with our breakfast or afternoon tea or coffee break all week long.  It is a must try recipe!
