How do you dry out butternut squash?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In American cuisine it not often peeled.

It is split open length-wise, dressed with butter or oil, or even dry roasted, with or without seasoning which is often sweet such as sugar, maple syrup, honey. along with dry spices such as cinnamon, clove, nutmeg.

When it is done roasting, the flesh is easily removed from the skin, if the squash is to be cubed, mashed or whipped.

If not, it is then eaten much the same manner as a large baked potato is eaten "right out of" the skin.

If you did wish to peel prior to cooking, I would use a strong, all metal hand peeler,or a small veg knife or contour capable mandolin slicer.

How long does squash take to ripen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

From sowing to fruiting, cucumbers will take approximately 6 - 8 weeks.

From flowering to fruiting will take approximately 2 weeks, but this can be shorter if the weather is warm, longer if very hot or cool.

If you see the cucumber, it is ripe. The additional growth time will only effect the size of the cucumber. Cucumbers are picked as mini jerkins or 1-3 inches in length, pickles- from 3-5 inches in length and as cucumbers anytime after that. If the outer skin of a cucumber turns yellow, it is over ripe and may have a sour taste. Hybrid ones can reach lengths of 36-48 inches in length, but have a weaker flavor. Under perfect growing conditions Ive had 1 inch cucumbers in the morning and by nightfall they were 5-6 inches in length.

It depends on how hot and dry your area is. You can usually water once a week unless it gets over 95F. But watch your plants. When you notice the leaves wilting, it's time to water.
