Healthy Steamed Squash Recipes

Steps:

• Combine sliced squash & chopped onion in a wire steamer basket, place over gently boiling water. Cover, & let steam.
• 10-12 minutes, until squash is fork-tender. Remove squash and onion to a large serving dish.
• Immediately stir in margarine, pepper, and sugar. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Slice one medium yellow squash and one medium zucchini (Will be about 1 1/2 cups of each).
• Place squash, zucchini, butter and water into a 12-inch sauce pan with lid or a large pot with lid on medium heat and allow to steam. Stir every 5-10 minutes. (NOTE: Margarine may be substituted for butter to reduce fat.).
• Allow to steam until sliced squash and zucchini is soft. Salt to taste.
• Other spices, like pepper, chilli powder, etc. may be added for extra flavor.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skilet over medium-high heat. Cook the onion in the butter until it browns slightly, about 5 minutes. Layer the squash slices into the skillet and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
• Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and cook the squash for 20 minutes, or until tender. Remove the cover. Stir the squash and continue cooking until the liquid has cooked out, another 3 or 4 minutes.
