Ingredients
- 3 delicata squash
- 1 cup water
Directions
- Wash and dry squash. Chop off the top and bottom of the squash, then cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and strings, reserving seeds for roasting, if desired.
- Place trivet into the Instant Pot and add water. Arrange squash halves on the trivet, making sure not to fill the pot past the ⅔ mark.
- Close and lock the lid. Select PRESSURE COOK (or MANUAL) and set the timer for 9 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes for the pressure to build before the timer begins.
- Quick release the pressure after the 9 minutes of cooking. When the pressure pin drops remove the lid. Use long tongs or other large kitchen utensils to carefully remove squash from the pot.
- Season according to the recipe or make it up adding cooking fat, spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg, and maybe something sweet like maple syrup or honey. Mix up taco night by using delicata squash in lieu of shells. Or, try it with coconut flakes.
