The Best Butternut Squash Recipes for Fall
Butternut squash is one of my favorite veggies to cook with when the weather starts to cool down. It’s versatile, so it works in everything from sweet soups to spicy tacos. Here are a few of my favorite ways to use this fall staple!

The tricky part is that most people cook it one way. Cubed, roasted, tossed on a sheet pan, done. Which is great! But there are so many more ways to use it. From spicy street tacos with crispy chickpeas, to a creamy vegan pasta that comes together in 15 minutes, this list will help you find new ways to use it. Every recipe here is vegetarian, most are vegan or easy to make vegan, and none of them require anything fancier than a sheet pan or a blender!
