Ingredients
- Instant Pot
- butternut squash medium
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Chop the ends off your butternut squash.
- Then stand it up and slice it in half.
- Place a cup of water in the bottom of your Instant Pot.
- Place the steamer shelf (trivet) into the bottom of the Instant pot.
- Place the butternut squash in your instant pot on top of the steamer shelf and place the lid on the Instant Pot.
- Set the valve to sealing.
- Cook the butternut squash on manual for 15 minutes.
- As soon as it has finished cooking and beeps manually release pressure.
- Remove the butternut squash from the Instant Pot. Using a dessert spoon scoop out the butternut squash seeds.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve.
Notes
- I used the stop watch to see how long it took to come to pressure before the cooking time started. It was 11 minutes and 20 seconds.
- Many other friends of ours have reported between 9-11 minutes. Therefore expect 10 minutes warm up time, 15 minutes pressure cooking and a total time of 25 minutes.
- Though this is still a lot quicker than an hour and over in the oven. I have based my Instant Pot Butternut Squash recipe on feeding 2 people.
- This is where you chop a whole butternut squash in half and you have a side each. If you are feeding 4 then change this to 2 whole butternut squashes.
