How to Cut Butternut Squash

Step 1: Cut Squash in Half

Use your knife to slice ¼-inch off the stem end and the root end. Place the top, cut-side down, on a cutting board, then slice or chop as desired.

Step 2: Remove Pulp and Seeds

For the bulb end, place it cut-side up on the cutting board. Use your knife to cut it in half, then use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp parts from both halves.

Step 3: Cut into Cubes

Place the cleaned squash bulb halves, round-side up, on the cutting board. Use your knife to slice or chop as desired. For cubes, cut long strips of squash. Once cut, chop the strips into cubes.
