These look incredible. I am inspired to finally buy a processor AND dehydrator, something I’ve been thinking about in the past few months.

Absolutely safe. The recipe is adapted from a raw food site that has many other recipes for veggies you might not have thought to eat raw, like eggplant and sweet potato. From my study of raw food diets, the only veggies I’ve found that are unsafe to eat raw are rhubarb, potatoes and some beans.

People’s digestion capabilities may vary (I can’t eat any grains, for example), but I’ve never heard of anyone having a problem with raw squash or pumpkin.

Thanks for your comment!

Is butternut squash (and other squashes) safe to eat raw? I mean, could you digest it as well as cooked? This recipe seems unnatural (but delicious!) to me. Sorry.

Hi Spiritual Vegan! If you can wait until Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) a LOT of kitchen items go on sale through JCPenney and Kohl’s. I got my dehydrator from Kohl’s for I think $10 or $15, normally it was $40. I’m going to try this recipe today. I don’t think mine has an adjustment knob on it though – just plug it in and go. I’ll have to check the instruction manual.

I bookmarked this I’ve seen so many butternut squash recipes lately, but none like this. I’m curious to see if me if my husband will eat them.

OMG! This sounds so amazing! I’m going to start my baby on raw foods and were trying butternut squash first. Love fall just for butternut squash. Yummy! Can’t wait to try the recipe. Thanks a bunch for sharing. ;p

You could try using the oven on the lowest setting for sure. I have never done them that way, but you’ll probably want to watch them carefully so they don’t dry out too much or bake. Best, Dawn

These look great–I wonder if there is a way to make them without the food dehydrator…perhaps oven on the lowest setting?

Wow, this looks like a great recipe! If I go back to raw I’ll try it out (I don’t have a dehydrator at the moment though. I told myself next time I go raw I’ll invest in some serious equipment. Low-budget raw sucks).
