📝 Preparation Steps
1
Trim the ends. Lay the squash on its side and carefully slice off both the top and bottom ends to create flat surfaces.
2
Peel the squash. Use a sharp vegetable peeler or Y-peeler to remove the tough outer skin, working from top to bottom.
3
Separate the neck and bulb. Cut the squash crosswise where the long neck meets the round bulb.
4
Halve and seed. Stand each piece upright and carefully cut down the middle to expose the seeds. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and discard (or save them for roasting!).
5
Slice into planks. Lay each squash half cut-side down and slice into even planks about ½ inch thick.
6
Cut into strips. Stack a few planks together and slice lengthwise into uniform strips.
7
Dice into cubes. Turn the strips crosswise and cut into even cubes, about ½ inch in size or smaller if desired.
