18 Easy Squash Recipes

August 10, 2018 by Jeanne

These easy squash recipes bring together 18 of the best recipes online. Here you’ll find recipes for zucchini, summer squash, butternut squash and more.

Squash Recipes from Home Garden Joy

I love squash. Winter squash, summer squash, you name it, it’s delicious! Here are my favorite recipes right here on Home Garden Joy. They are all easy to make and use your fresh garden squash along with other garden vegetables.

Stuffed Summer Squash – I love the way this recipe blends the perfect summer vegetables, cherry tomatoes and yellow (or green) summer squash, into a tasty baked stuffed summer squash. It’s vegetarian and vegan and low calorie deliciousness!

Butternut Squash Soup – Yum, yum, yum. I can’t get enough of this soup, especially dressed with pumpkin seeds on top.

Pumpkin Biscuits – Oh boy! Make this with acorn or butternut squash if you don’t have pumpkin. Heavenly! The orange-honey butter makes it perfection.

Butternut Squash

  2. Roasted Acorn Squash with Walnuts and Cranberries – this recipe simply shouts ‘fall’ and ‘Thanksgiving’. A must- have for your holiday table!
