For a great step-by-step tutorial on how to peel, seed and cut a butternut squash, head to SimplyRecipes.com. *Great trick I learned to make the peeling and cutting process a little easier – pierce the squash a few times with a knife or fork and pop it in the microwave for 3-4 minutes. Allow to cool, then peel, seed and cute into pieces.
