Also note that if you buy organic squash, you do not have to remove the skin.
Bonus tip
To make the skin even easier to peel, you can also microwave your butternut.
Simply put your squash in the oven on full power for 3 minutes.
Wait a bit for it to cool down and you will notice that the skin is much softer.
Peeling is thus much easier with the peeler.
Instead of the microwave, you can also immerse the squash directly in a large pot of boiling water.
Here too, the skin comes off much more easily.
