Need to make squash not taste like squash.

Use it in a Thai curry w coconut milk. Or cut into bite sized chunks and cook it in your favorite tomato sauce....it will mostly dissolve and be texture rather than flavor.

My friend's mother from Buras cooked it with bacon fat and onions, then sprinkled it w/ parmesan cheese and it was surprisingly tasty.

For God's sake, son. Fry it!


Slice into thin, 1/8 inch rounds. Soak in ice water. Heat 2 inches of oil to 350. Drain the squash and dredge in seasoned corn meal. Fry in small batches until golden and floating. Flip at least once. Drain on a wire rack. Pig out.

Spiralize it?

There's a blog called inspiralized that has a lot of great ideas.

I made this lemon thyme squash soup a few weeks ago and everyone loved it, even the non squash lovers. I used lemon thyme from my garden, but regular is fine. I always use extra when using fresh thyme because I really like it.

Last summer, I made a tarragon squash soup which was very good, as well. I don't know what recipe I used, but there are a number on the net. Tarragon is a nice flavor with summer squash. It was also a pureed soup.

I like to bake it whole, split it open and put butter on it with salt, pepper and parm cheese. Tastes a little like corn.

1 cup self rising flour
1 cup white self rising corn meal
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped bell pepper
1 jalapeno, diced fine no seeds or white membrane
1/2 cup chopped squash
1/2 cup crumbled (cooked) sausage
1/2 cup sharp cheddar
1 cup buttermilk plus enough water to make pancake batter consistency

into a hot skillet with oil let sizzle a minute and then into a 400 degree oven until cooked. Serve with butter and veggies

Try some baked squash chips. The problem is that you can't really use the big mature squash as they contain too much moisture and will never crisp up.

Salt and pepper (and whatever other spice you like such as cumin or chili powder) the crap out of them. Don't taste like squash.

Use it in a ratatouille

This is designed for spaghetti squash, but I bet it would be good with any kind of squash.
