Yes, I’ve been wanting to make butternut squash chili for like EVER.

Yes, I was wrong. Again, amazed.
Yes, all hail the Instant Pot and this butternut squash Instant Pot chili right here.

Yes, I’m already planning out my next Instant Pot recipes (see more below on that!).
Fortunately, cooking butternut squash in an Instant Pot is super easy and doesn’t take much time at all. Here are the steps you’ll need to follow for how to cook butternut squash in an Instant Pot (instructions also below in this butternut squash Instant Pot chili recipe):
Remove the skin of the butternut squash using a vegetable peeler Slice both ends off the butternut squash Slice the squash in half using a large, sharp knife Remove the seeds from the inside of the squash and then discard the seeds Lay the cut halves cut-side down on a cutting board and then dice into 1-inch cubes Place into the Instant Pot, along with the other ingredients for the chili Close the lid and set valve to Sealing Press the Manual/Pressure Cook button and cook on high pressure for 6 minutes Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes and then release the remaining pressure manuallyIf you’re going to cook the butternut squash in an Instant Pot by itself for a recipe other than this chili, you’ll want to add a little liquid as well to help cook and steam it while it’s under pressure.
Don’t yet have an Instant Pot? That’s ok! It took me a while to jump on buying one, too. The good news is you can easily convert this Instant Pot chili recipe into a slow cooker recipe.
While you won’t be able to saute the same way in your slow cooker, you can either choose to saute the onion in a separate skillet and then transfer into the slow cooker or just skip that step. Then, add everything into the slow cooker as you would the Instant Pot, cover, and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for about 3-4 hours, or until the butternut squash is tender.
If you’re ready to get your own Instant Pot, this is the one I use and it’s been awesome!
Now that I’m on the Instant Pot wagon and have seen how easy and quick it is to make awesome food, I’m planning to make all sorts of Instant Pot recipes. Here’s what I have shared so far on the blog:

Add butternut squash on top of the mixture; do not stir.
Close the Instant Pot lid and set valve to sealing. Press the “Manual” button and cook on high pressure for 6 minutes.

Remove and discard the bay leaf.
Serve the butternut squash chili topped with a lime wedge, fresh cilantro, and diced avocado.
