Whatcha doin with yer kabocha squash?

Or as my grandmother would call it "squarsh". ; )

I like my veggies to be savory and I've always had a hard time with squash and pumpkin. I eat them cause I know they're good for me but I don't enjoy it. All I can think of is "sweet mush". I'm not a fan of pumpkin pie for that matter either. 

What kind of savory things do you make with kabocha squash,or any squash or pumpkin, outside of the TKD recipes? 

 

Thanks!

I roast my Kabocha.  The hardest thing is cutting it, but if you can cut fairly thin half moons, they come out well when roasted.  I try to buy organic and leave the skin on.  I thinly coat them with olive oil, salt and pepper, roast for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.  The great thing about kabocha is how good it tastes cold.

That sounds good. I'll try that out. Thanks!

I make it into soup because it's so creamy and yum. mmm, now I'm craving it!!

Cut in squares (like the other poster said - this is hard to do), but then roast with olive oil, sea salt, and pepper - and it is soooo good!

Another vote for roasted!  My husband says it tastes like candy.
