Ingredients

  • 1 Butternut Squash

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degree Fahrenheit.
  • Wash the squash and core gently on different parts of the skin around the squash using a knife.
  • Place the squash in a baking sheet lined with aluminium foil or non stick silicon baking mat (for better clean up later) and bake for about 50 minutes.
  • The roasted squash will have a slightly golden brown skin with small wrinkles in it.
  • Allow the squash to cool on the rack itself.

Peeling And Slicing Roasted Whole Butternut Squash

  • Once the roasted butternut squash is cool enough, easily cut the top and bottom of the fruit using a knife.
  • Peel the skin easily using a knife, or you may even do it with your hands.
  • Once completely peeled, cut the squash lengthwise into two equal halves.
  • Now easily remove the seeds from each half of the squash.
  • Cut the squash into cubes very easily using any regular kitchen knife that you use!
