Notes

Butternut squash is a winter squash with a nutty, sweet flavor.

6-8 cups of diced butternut squash is about 3 pounds.

You can make the butternut squash cubes bigger or smaller than 1 inch. Just make them about the same size. Bigger cubes will take longer to cook. Smaller cubes will cook faster.

You can add other seasonings if desired. Try brown sugar, maple syrup or herbs.
To cut a whole butternut squash into 1 inch cubes: Peel the squash, cut it in half, scoop out and discard the seeds. Then dice the squash into 1 inch cubes or the desired size. Larger cubes will take longer to cook. Smaller cubes will cook faster.
