Savvy Tip #1: Butternut Squash has such thick skin, it'll stay fresh in a cool, dark place for up to a month. Just make sure to pick one without any scrapes or punctures, which will invite bacteria to dive in.
Savvy Tip #2: Butternut Squash is so copious, your best bet may just be to score a large squash, roast it in the oven in small peeled chunks and store in a freezer containers to split between a few recipes so you don't get bored.
