Honeynut squash look exactly like a miniature butternut squash only darker orange. When cooked, it becomes tender and creamy with a sweet, nutty flavor that has hints of caramel and malt. Easier to prepare than butternut squash due to its smaller size, Honeynut squash is perfect for roasting, baking, boiling, or sautéing. Roasting is especially recommended, as it caramelizes the natural sugars, enhancing the squash's rich, sweet flavor.
