Squash is so versatile, and can be added to nearly any savory recipe. These 12 squash recipes will help you fall in love with this underrated vegetable.

I’m on to fully admit squash isn’t the most sexy vegetable. I mean, you have romanesco broccoli that is just picture perfect and mesmerizing to look at. And squash is not that. Squash is simple and humble, but it is absolutely versatile and can be added into recipes in the fall time. If you ever need to a savory vegetable element in a dish, chances are you can add in some cubed up butternut squash to it and boom – it’s elevated.

To that end, I rounded up my favorite squash recipes from the blog to share with you and inspire you to add more squash to your fall meal rotation!
