So easy - cook it WHOLE in the Instant Pot!
Instant Pot Instructions
- Butternut Squash -
- small enough to fit in IP.
- WHOLE! No need to cut or poke holes!
- 🌿 You can cook two at once if they will fit in the pot.
- Water
Cook - 20 to 25 minutes at high pressure. (20 might be better for small squashes)
Let the pressure come down naturally for about 5-10 minutes.
Then, use the quick release to get rid of any remaining pressure.
When done, cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds.
Serving Options
- SIMPLE - Add a pat of butter in each hollow where the seeds were. Eat right out of the skin.
- MASHED - Treat the cooked squash like you would mashed potatoes and whip it up well with butter, warm milk, and salt. Mashed butternut squash is delicious.
- SOUP - Make a butternut squash soup by adding onion, garlic, and veggie broth. OR make a sweeter soup with a nut milk base and an apple.
