Learn how to peel and cut butternut squash with these easy tips and tricks. Ditch the pricey pre-cut version and make perfectly cubed butternut squash in no time!
Before you begin cutting, pierce the squash several times with a knife or fork. Then place the whole squash in the microwave and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Remove from microwave and peel with a potato peeler until all skin is removed.
Next, slice the 2 ends off using a sharp knife. Remove the seeds with a spoon and wash the squash.
Then slice in half vertically down the middle. Then cut in half again. Working one section at a time, slice each of the pieces in horizontal lines. Then slice into about 1″ cubes.
