The skin of a butternut squash usually looks a bit plastic but if you roast it whole it looks quite tasty, can you eat it?

Yes it is edible as I have done it many, many times especially if you roast it or microwave the squash. It will become very tender.Probably boiling it will do it too although I usually did the microwave or oven roasting bit. The skin also helps to hold the squash together especially if you have stuffed it it with say a meatloaf style mix of ingredients.

I Love butternut squash roast drizzled with olive oil. I also make butternut squash apricot and Almond chutney and in all the recipes Ive used it is removed, not saying it cant be eaten but why bother when the rest of it tastes so good.

The most natural and healthy diet for humans is an omnivorous diet, and not a plant based diet, or a meat-based diet per se. The Paleo Diet can be very widely varied and omnivorous for the most part, but the most important thing is that it’s unprocessed, and avoids the worst foods that agriculture brought mankind… refined inflammatory vegetable oils, refined grains (some are worse than others), and sugar!

As you can see, the benefits of adopting a Paleo way of eating can be incredible! I’ve been eating 95% Paleo for the last 5-6 years and I’ve never felt better. I have dozens of friends that have adopted a more Paleo way of eating too, and have seen all sorts of health problems disappear, including eliminating acne and other skin problems, digestion problems, improving brain clarity, and of course, losing a lot of body fat!

I love the skin. Just baked in in the oven on some olive oil and half cup of water, sliced in half placed face down, cook for 30-35 mins. The skin absorbs the olive oil and it quite tasty eaten together with the squash.

Yes, it's edible, it's just a matter of taste. Personally, I don't like it, but I've seen other people eat it when roasted.

Yeah, the skin really isn't edible for humans so my first thought was compost, too. Unless you know someone nearby with goats or cows who can eat it.

The skin is edible but I don't fancy it myself. It can do you no harm. Lets know how it tastes if you try it.
