Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel, seed, and dice the butternut squash into 1-inch cubes.
Place the cubed squash on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Peel the garlic cloves and add them whole to the baking sheet with the squash.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through cooking.
Remove the squash and garlic from the oven and let cool slightly.
Transfer the roasted squash and garlic to a large bowl or food processor.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, unsweetened almond milk, salt, ground black pepper, and nutmeg.
Mash the mixture with a potato masher until smooth, or blend in the food processor for extra creaminess.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
