How to Cook Instant Pot Butternut Squash
Report
If using butternut squash in other recipes, keep your cooking time to 3 minutes so the squash holds its shape. If you're looking for a creamier bite, cook the squash for 4 minutes. To save even more time, use store-bought, already cubed butternut squash instead of cutting your own.

Ingredients
- 1 pound butternut squash, cut into 1-inch cubes , (about 6 cups)
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Wash the outside of the squash well and trim the peel from the outside. Scoop out the seeds and cut into 1 inch cubes.
- Place the cubes into the insert of a 6-quart Instant Pot with 1 cup of water. Set the Instant Pot pressure to HIGH and set time for 3 minutes if you want your squash to hold it's shape, or 4 minutes to make it even softer easier to mash.
- When time is up, quick release and carefully remove the lid. Transfer the squash to a bowl, season with kosher salt and mash with a fork or a potato masher and season with butter or other flavorings if you like. Or, keep cubed and use in other recipes as suggested above.
