How do I prep a butternut squash?

[Lydiah]

I want to cube it for a recipe. Do I just cut it and peel it or do I have to bake it first?

I think it may be hard to cube if you bake it first. Here's what I do: Peel the squash with a vegetable peeler (that is HANDS-DOWN the easiest way I've found to peel a butternut squash), then cut in half length-wise and scoop out seeds/membranes, then cut into cubes. I suppose you could either roast, boil or steam the cubes. I usually roast.

Thanks.

I am going to bake it with quinoa, apples, onions, raisins, curry and cinnamon. I hope its good.
