Hold it tight and use a good knife. If you are worried about slipping cut a slice off the side of the squash so it doesn’t roll.

Hope that helps!

how do you cut them so thin though, i can only manage to make them about 2-3x that size..

Okay, I’m a boob, just saw that you said to cook for 10 minutes first before topping. :)

This looks delicious! I am excited to try it. Is the butternut squash already cooked when you slice it or was it raw? Thanks for the great idea!

I tried this recipe tonight from memory. My slices were a bit thicker than 1/2 inch I think. I used 1 tbsp spaghetti sauce, super thin sliced onions and mozza cheese. I cooked the squash 10 min on one side and 5 min on the other before adding toppings. It was really good! The ony thing, I wish there was a way to keep the cheese from wanting to slide off. I browned the cheese more than you did in the pic. Going to be doing this again. Two slices were very filling.

Okay, I’ve recovered from the shock that you CAN eat the skins on a bnut squash!! Never even gave it a second thought bc it’s so thick and hard to cut. So even if its not your idea, thank you so much for the inspiration!! I think we’ll all do anything for a slice of pizza sometimes!!
Ps…Yours look SOOO much more appetizing than the ones you linked to!!

Think of this types of foods at the diets are always no no but we have made recipe with so much low calorie and less fattening so anyone can go for it. Thanks Roni.

What a great idea. I used to do something (sort of) similar in college with half an acorn squash.

This is super fun! I cant do a lot of tomato sauce (it upsets my sensitive stomach) but Im envisioning a white pizza spin-off….or maybe some pesto and goat cheese?!

And I cant believe I didn’t know you could eat the skin on butternut squash. it is hands down my favorite vegetable, but sometimes I just cant find the motivation to peel it so it sits in the fridge. Thanks for the tip!

I was wondering the same thing about the skin. Do you leave it on for your squash fries as well?

By: roni

roni — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:41:06 +0000

You can. Most people don’t but I’ve gotten lazy and just leave it on. The skin softens so much you don’t even notice it.

Looks yummy but forgive my ignorance, I’m new to butternut squash, can you eat the skin?

We have just started cooking more butternut squash.. and my 8 year old asked for seconds last night! This looks like a fun way to get her even more interested in healthier foods (up until very recently she would not even try squash). Love this idea!

Would be a great sub for chicken parm, too! Looks really pretty.
