    It is busy roasting in the oven. The recipe says skin off but I'm sure I have seen somewhere you can leave it on. What do you think?
  • leave it on, melts away when you blitz it and is all extra fibre to fill you up :D

    Fab! That is great. I was hoping that was the case as it seems a waste to chuck it out!

    Wow. Thanks for that. I didn't know you could use the skin.

  • Nigella's recipe (in her christmas book) keeps the skin on while roasting and is utterly delicious! Makes preparing the squash so easy, too.

    Does she then blitz it or scrape out the squash?

    I've always taken it off but I find it really hard work so leaving it on sounds much more appealing!

  • Just googled, she appears to do both:

    Skin off: http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/butternut-squash-soup-2292

    Skin on: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/roastsquashandsweetp_90620

    Sounds good to me, I reaaaalllly hate peeling squash!

    Goodness! I had no idea you could keep the skin on! I HATE peeling butternut so buy it infrequently but now I know that, I will buy it more often :)

    Quite glad I asked now, it looks it will save a few people time and effort. I can also confirm that the soup is lovely.
