Instant Pot Butternut Squash Recipe
One of the best features of the Instant Pot is when hardy vegetables like butternut squash can go from gourd to gourmet in just 3 minutes cooking time. Who doesn't have time for that?
Ingredients
- 2.5 pound butternut squash (, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 6 cups)*)
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- 1
Peel and cube the squash. Wash the outside of the squash well and trim the peel from the outside. Scoop out the seeds and cut into 1 inch cubes.

Pressure cook. 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.

Season and enjoy. 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 in the blog post above.
