How to Cut Butternut Squash

Steps

1. 1Use a sharp knife to cut 1/2 inch off both ends of the squash and use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin.
2. 2Cut the squash in two at the neck where the squash begins to flair out. Set the body aside.
3. 3Slice the neck into rounds and then cube them.
4. 4Turn the body on its end and slice in half vertically. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds from both sides.
5. 5Lay one-half of the squash on its flat cut side and cut into slices so you have half-moons. Cut those slices into cubes and repeat with the other half of your squash.
6. 6Cook as desired and store any leftovers in an airtight bag in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
