Notes

How to peel and dice a butternut squash:

For this recipe, you want to start by peeling and dicing all your vegetables and roasting them. Here are my tips on how to peel the butternut squash.
  1. Use a vegetable peeling to remove all skin from the butternut squash.
  2. Carefully use a large knife to cut the butternut squash lengthwise.
  3. Spoon out seeds from the bottom half of your squash.
  4. Turn your squash over and dice lengthwise. Turn your squash and dice it the opposite way to create large square chucks.
