Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs butternut squash
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and place the halves cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the squash in the preheated oven for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and a fork can easily pierce through it.
Remove the squash from the oven and let it cool slightly until you can handle it comfortably. Scoop out the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
Add the unsalted butter and heavy cream to the squash in the mixing bowl.
Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the butternut squash until it is smooth and creamy.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the mashed butternut squash to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish before serving.
