The instant pot works its magic once more! I love butternut squash, but damn, is it a pain in the ass to peel! And then roast! I don’t have time or patience for that.

I finally had the bright idea to put my Instant Pot to use here! Pressure cooking butternut squash for 7 minutes makes it incredibly easy to remove the outer peel (it sloughs right off!). It also evenly cooks the squash, making for a better tasting mash.
