How do you cut butternut squash?
Don’t be scared. It’s really not that bad, and I’ll walk you through how I prep butternut squash, which you can use for this recipe and so many others. First, I cut the ends off the squash so you have two flat surfaces. Then, I stand it up on the larger flat edge. Use a pairing knife to carefully slice the outer skin off the squash in a downward motion from top to bottom. Make your way all the way around the squash, and then cut in half and scoop the seeds out. Slice each half into half moons and cubes from there. Not too bad, huh?!

Do you have any time saving tips for making this butternut squash curry?
Yes! Simply, you can use fresh produce that requires prepping or you can save time as needed by doing the following:
Buy pre-cubed butternut squash. You might have to cut it into smaller cubes, but won’t have to take the time to chop and peel the skin off. Use frozen green beans that are already trimmed and cut into smaller pieces. If you’re serving over cauliflower rice, buy pre-riced cauliflower.
Does this recipe work well for meal prep?
It sure does! This butternut squash curry is great for lunch leftovers. It’s flavorful, filling and satisfying. You’ll feel like you enjoyed a home cooked meal at work. We do recommend keeping the cauliflower or white rice separate until right when you eat it. Otherwise, the rice will absorb most of the sauce, and we just like it better when it’s real saucy.
