Can other Squash be used?
Butternut Squash is preferred for this recipe because of its mild flavor and texture. Feel free to use other squash such as Acorn, Kobocha, or Delicata. Just note that the flavors and texture will be different.
How to cut Butternut Squash
Start with a sharp knife and sturdy cutting board. Place a damp paper towel and place it under the cutting board. This will keep it from sliding around.
Cut the ends off. Now cut the squash in half where the small cylinder shape meets the bigger bulb shape towards the bottom.
Use a good vegetable peeler to peel the skin off.
Cut the larger bulb shape in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
Cut the squash into small cubes and it’s ready to go for this recipe.
