From butternut to spaghetti to acorn and more, these 10 savory and sweet gluten-free winter squash recipes make a wonderful addition to any fall or winter meal.

10 Gluten-Free Winter Squash Recipes for Fall and Winter

Winter squash is one of those quintessential signs of fall and the coming winter months. Thicker skinned winter squash is at its best during this time of year, making it the perfect addition to the warming and comforting foods we naturally gravitate to in the cooler months.  It also happens to be delicious and extremely versatile.

There’s pumpkin of course, but also butternut, spaghetti, acorn and a whole slew of other squash varieties you may never have tried before.  Their naturally sweet and mild flavor makes them right at home in both savory and sweet dishes alike.  Whether you’re looking for a soup, salad, side or sweet treat, you’ll find something for every occasion with these 10 gluten-free winter squash recipes.

1. Winter Squash Soup (Paleo, Vegan)
