How to make Pumpkin in the microwave:
Cut off the top and bottom ends of the squash. Cut it in half by cutting it vertically with a very sharp knife.
Tip: The skin of the pumpkin is very hard and you need a knife that cuts well.
Empty the vegetable by removing all the seeds with the help of a soup spoon. Cut it horizontally and then in several parts until you get several pieces more or less the same size, this will take less time to cook the roasted butternut squash in the microwave.
Tip: The larger the pieces, the longer they will take to cook, but it will also be easier to remove the skin later.
Place all the pieces on a plate and wrap it completely with transparent paper, making sure to close the edges well. In this case, I have not removed the skin because I will do it in the next step but if you prefer, you can remove it beforehand and cook the peeled pumpkin in the microwave.
Trick: This is the secret to knowing how to steam pumpkin in the microwave, so that there is no opening or whole through which it can escape.
Put the plate and cook the pumpkin in the microwave for about 10 minutes at maximum power. Then take out the plate and you will see that it is like everything compressed. Don’t worry, it’s normal. Just be sure to remove the plastic wrap being careful not to burn yourself because as soon as you open it, all the steam that is still inside will come out and it will be very hot.
With the help of a fork and a spoon or a knife, peel the cooked vegetable being careful not to burn yourself and use it for whatever you want!
