There are probably as many good ways to peel a butternut squash as there are people peeling butternut squash, but in case it seems like a daunting task to peel and process the butternut squash in your delivery, here is my favourite strategy!

Laying the squash down, cut off the top and the bottom so you get 2 flat surfaces so it can stand up.

Cut the squash in half again. This makes it easier to run the knife down the sides to peel it, as it tends to curve quite a bit in the middle.

Making sure to always hold your hands above and away from the blade, start cutting down the sides of the squash, working your way around.
