Ingredients for instant pot butternut squash

• Butter– This will help us to saute the squash and add a little richness in taste to the overall results.
• Butternut squash– You’ll want it to be peeled and diced into about 1 inch sized cubes. Will this ensure even cooking and tastier results!
• Brown sugar– adding a little sweetness, caramelization, and depth of flavor.
• Cinnamon– Adding an earthy and nutty flavor and spice that really makes this dish taste like Autumn.
