1 Cut your butternut squash in half lengthwise. We recommend using a large chef's
knife to cut butternut squash.
2 Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and stringy bits on the inside of the
butternut squash.
3 Brush the flat side of your butternut squash in olive oil and sprinkle salt over
it. Place your butternut squash flat side down on a baking sheet.
4 Bake the squash for 60 minutes at 350 degrees
5 Poke holes in your butternut squash with a fork and microwave it for 3-4 minutes
to soften the skin.
6 Cut your butternut squash in half lengthwise. We recommend using a large chef's
knife to cut butternut squash.

8 Peel the butternut squash. It is easiest to do this with a large vegetable
peeler. You can also cut away the skin with a large chef's knife. If you use a
knife, it is easiest to place the halved squash flat side down and trim the
sides off before tackling the rest of the skin. Dice the peeled butternut squash
into cubes and toss them in salt and olive oil.

over for 60 minites at 350 degrees. Rotate the cubes every 20-30 minutes for
best results.
