Summer Squash
Varieties
The most common varieties of summer squash are crookneck, straightneck, pattypan, and zucchini.
Preparation, Uses, & Tips
Wash summer squash just before using. The tender, thin skins don’t need to be peeled. Because summer squash hold a lot of water, try cooking techniques that dry them out somewhat. Slice zucchini and crookneck squash lengthwise, brush with olive oil, and roast with sliced onions and red sweet peppers.
Storing
Store squash refrigerated in a plastic bag for up to four days.
