00:00:00I’m going to show you how to cut up a
00:00:02butternut squash very first thing you do
00:00:05before you’re near the squash is make
00:00:07sure that underneath your chopping board
00:00:09is a damp piece of cloth or kitchen
00:00:12paper that stops the board moving when
00:00:15you’re working on it very important so
00:00:18the first thing take your squash and a
00:00:20sharp heavy chopping knife and chop the
00:00:24end off turn it around and chop the
00:00:28other end off and then chop the squash
00:00:32in half at the middle here make sure
00:00:35that your fingers are way out of the way
00:00:37of the noise at all times there’s your
00:00:44two powers of spot next thing you do is
00:00:49chop them in half vertically down the
00:00:51middle bottom half it’s got a lot of
00:01:03seeds in it so we need to scoop those
00:01:06out so we do that with a spoon like that
00:01:12let’s create the seeds and any sort of
00:01:17loose bits like that
00:01:37okay
00:01:39and she squashed basically prepared no
00:01:42next step its turn the pieces over place
00:01:46them flat on the board where they’re not
00:01:48going to move and then again making sure
00:01:51your fingers are well out of the way cut
00:01:53across into chunks for roasting and
00:02:09there’s your squash ready to roast
