Acorn Mash

This is like other mashed veggies, but with acorn squash instead of other veggies. It makes a very satisfying side.

  • Prepare your pressure cooker, such as an instantpot, with the insert and 1 cup of water.
  • Next, cut an acorn squash in half.
  • Scoop out the seeds (reserve).
  • Place cut side down of both half portions of the squash into the cooker.
  • Seal properly.
  • Cook on high pressure 10 minutes.
  • Naturally release.
  • Remove lid.
  • Remove peel (it comes right off)
  • Mash squash with butter, salt, and pepper to taste.

Serving Suggestion (with Everything But Bagel seasoning turkey cutlet)

NOTE: This recipe can be prepared in advance, frozen in portion size servings, thawed and easily reheated as desired.
