INSTANT POT™ CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH



Instant Pot™ Creamy Butternut Squash image

If you find cutting and peeling butternut squash tedious and anxiety-inducing, this recipe's about to change your life. Two cuts of the squash and 16 minutes under pressure are all you need to turn a butternut from rock hard to completely tender-so there's no fear of a knife slip here. Once your squash is cooked, it's quick work to complete this recipe. Crisping sage might sound fussy, but it's a 2-minute task that adds tons of savory flavor (and a pop of color) to the finished dish. Allow the garlic and red pepper flakes to cook in the butter that's left behind from crisping the sage, and combine all the rest of the ingredients for a savory dish that makes a wonderful alternative to mashed potatoes during the fall and winter.
