    How to prep the squash

    How you prep your butternut squash will depend on which recipe you are making.

    • For most recipes, you will start by peeling the squash. I like to do this with a Y peeler, but any sharp peeler will work.
    • Then, slice the squash in half and scoop out the seeds from the bulbous part of the squash. A squash or melon spoon works really well for this!
    • Cut the squash into slices, cubes, ribbons, or whatever your recipe calls for.

    Pro tip: Save time by buying pre-prepped butternut squash at the grocery store or prepping your squash a day or two ahead of time.

    When is butternut squash season? Butternut squash grows in late summer to early fall. But, the squash stores so well that they can be stored through the fall and winter.
