Butternut squash peeling tricks

I have really struggled yesterday to peel and cut my butternut squash. Is there a hack to make it easier? I saw one with a microwave but I don't have one :(

I heard about one but never tried it. You can try by cooking it on the stove top. Place squash in a large pot of water, bringing it to a boil, and then simmering it until the skin is soft enough to peel (about 3-5 minutes). Rinse in cold water and peel with a vegetable peeler. Good luck. Please let me know did it work :)

Roast it whole in oven like a baked potato then very easy to peel

Thanks, both. I think I will try roasting first. Seems easier.

I only tried peeling it after roasting. Having a house that smells like roasted pumpkin is worth the effort, trust me!
