Considered a winter squash because it stores and tastes like one, the standard dark-green acorn squash is more closely related to the pattypan squash than to a butternut, but don’t let that throw you. Cook acorn squash (Cucurbita pepo) and winter squash like butternut (Cucurbita moschata), buttercup (Cucurbita maxima), and kabocha (also Cucurbita maxima) in the same ways: aiming to make the flesh tender and caramelized.
