First things first, you will need a good sharp chef’s knife and a good vegetable peeler (I love this one or this one).
Step 1 – cut off the top and bottom of your butternut squash
Step 2 – peel the squash with a vegetable peeler (alternatively you can stand your squash upright and use the curved tip of your chef’s knife to peel from top to bottom)
Step 3 – cut the top skinny part of the squash into rounds of your desired thickness
Step 4 – cut the base in half and scoop out seeds (don’t throw them away, they’re great for roasting and snacking!)
Step 5 – cut the base sections into half-moons the same thickness as the rounds you’ve already cut and then into small cubes
Step 6 – cut the rounds (you can stack two at a time) into matchsticks and then cut into small cubes
