Squash & Pumpkin Season

September 15 – November 30

From mid‑September through late November, markets fill with butternut, acorn, delicata, kabocha, and bright orange pumpkins. Kitchens pivot to roasting, pureeing, and baking—think caramelized trays of squash, silky soups, and warmly spiced breads. Sage, brown butter, chili, cinnamon, and nutmeg all flatter these naturally sweet, dense vegetables. Look for heavy, unblemished squash with firm stems; they store well in a cool spot. Save the seeds for roasting, and balance sweetness with acidity from vinegar or citrus. A sheet pan, sharp peeler, and sturdy knife are your best friends this season.
