Dice Butternut Squash
To dice the neck end: With the squash standing upright, hold the squash firmly and cut squash into even-sized planks. Lay the planks flat on the cutting board and slice into long rectangles and then into cubes.
To dice the bottom half of the squash: Cut the body of the squash in half to expose the seeds. Take a spoon and scoop out the seeds. Make even slices into each half and then cut each slice into even cubes.
