What is the best way to peel a butternut squash?
Peeling a butternut squash may sound like a difficult task! But no worries, we’ve got your back! Here is what you need to do:

- Turn each half to stand with the flat part resting on the cutting board and peel off the skin downward with the help of a peeler or a knife.
