Before cutting into your butternut squash, make sure you rinse and dry the squash.

Halves:

• Cut approx. 1/2 inch off of each end, discard.
• Use a large, chef’s knife to cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise.
• You can also cut the squash in half where the thinner neck starts to get larger at the base for more manageable, smaller sections.

Slices:

• Follow the directions for cutting the butternut squash in half.
• Cut each section of the squash in half, lengthwise, again and place the cut side down on the cutting board.
• Start at one end of the squash section and work your way to the other end making 1/4-1/2 inch thick cuts all the way through, resulting in half circle-shaped slices.

Cubes:

• Follow the instructions for cutting into halves and slices.
• Stack 3 butternut squash slices on top of each other, slice in half lengthwise, rotate 180 degrees on the cutting board, and make 1/4-1/2 inch slices across the slices resulting in small cubes.
• Continue this process for all sections of the butternut squash.
