Ingredients

  • 1 butternut squash

Instructions

  • Wash your butternut squash.
  • Cut the ends off so it can stand flat on your cutting board without wobbling.
  • Peel the entire butternut squash with a sharp vegetable peeler.
  • With the squash standing upright on the cutting board, slice it in half down the middle and scoop out the seeds.
  • Cut the butternut squash crosswise into strips. Use them like that, or continue to cut up into cubes.
