New Brunswick acorn squash is a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in many dishes. But if you've never prepared it, you might wonder how to tackle this bumpy, hard-skinned squash. Here are some tips to help you cut acorn squash like a pro: 👇

1. Using a sharp knife, cut off the stem and bottom. This will give you a flat surface to work with, making it easier to slice the squash in half.
2. Place the squash on a cutting board, flat side down, and slice it in half lengthwise.
3. Once the squash is halved, use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and stringy bits from the center. You can discard these or save them to roast later (squash seeds are delicious!).
4. Slice or dice the squash into the desired shape for your recipe.

Whether you're roasting it, stuffing it, or adding it to a soup, now you have the perfect pieces of New Brunswick acorn squash to work with. Happy cooking! 🧡
