Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized Butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1/4 cup Heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Carefully cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the squash in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes or until the flesh is tender and soft when pierced with a fork.
Remove the squash from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
Once cool enough to handle, scoop the roasted squash flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to the blender.
Puree the mixture until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender bowl a few times.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the puree warm as a comforting side dish.
