The easiest way to peel butternut squash is with a vegetable peeler; the harp-shaped variety works particularly well.

Cook Mode (Keep screen awake)

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 butternut squash (about 1 ¾ pounds), peeled, seeded, and cut into ¾-inch cubes

  • ½ cup low-sodium canned chicken broth

  • ¼ cup water

  • 1 tablespoon dark-brown sugar

Directions

  1. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown. Add squash; saute, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork, about 16 minutes.

  2. Add chicken broth, the water, and brown sugar; cook until liquid has evaporated and squash is nicely caramelized, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper. Serve.
