Recipes Side Dish Vegetables Squash Microwave Squash 4.5 (4) 3 Reviews 3 Photos I like to microwave butternut squash, acorn squash, or any winter squash with this quick and easy recipe. It's a super simple method my dad taught me for college. When the squash is tender, you can scoop out the flesh or serve in shells.
