Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Butternut squash
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the butternut squash, cut it in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes.
Place the cubed squash on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the squash is fork-tender and lightly browned.
Remove the squash from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted squash, unsweetened almond milk, unsalted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutmeg.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, adding more almond milk if necessary to achieve the desired consistency.
Taste the puree and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the butternut squash puree warm as a side dish, garnished with a sprinkle of nutmeg if desired.
