Step 1

Lay the butternut squash on its side and cut both ends off. Cut about 1/4-1/2 inch off the top and bottom of the squash.

Step 2

Cut the bulb end off the squash, which will leave you with 2 pieces.

Step 3

Using a Y peeler, peel off the skin.

Step 4

Turn each piece upright sitting on its flat side. Cut each piece lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. You can discard these or save them for roasting.

Step 5

Lay each piece on it's flat cut side and slice into strips of your desired thickness.

Step 6

Place a couple of strips on top of each other, then slice and dice into cubes.
