How Do You Cook Squash So Its Not Mushy?
To cook squash so it’s not mushy, it should be cooked on high heat for a short amount of time, either by roasting or sautéing. Roasting squash in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes allows it to cook through evenly without getting too soft, while sautéing squash on a hot pan for 5-7 minutes ensures it retains its texture and flavor. It’s important to not overcook squash, as it will become mushy and lose its shape.
