Did you know that you can cook a whole butternut squash in the slow cooker or crockpot? Super simple and it saves all that hassle trying to cut it raw!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"whole<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I love butternut squash<\/strong>. It’s probably one of my favourite vegetables at the moment and I’m always trying to find new ways to use and of course to get the kids<\/strong> to eat it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But peeling and chopping<\/strong> a raw squash can be an absolute nightmare!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve had many near-misses where I’ve nearly lost a finger as the skin and the flesh is so tough to cut through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m using my slow cooker<\/strong> for so many things at the moment so I thought why not trying cooking a whole butternut squash<\/strong> in it?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It was so easy<\/strong>. You literally just pop the squash in and cook it on low for 5 – 6 hours or high for 3-4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it’s done, simply allow it to cook before removing the squash and cutting it half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
