Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Peel the squash and cut it into roughly 1-inch cubes.
Place the squash cubes on a large baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and 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 30-35 minutes, or until the squash is tender and golden brown, stirring once halfway through.
Remove the roasted squash and garlic from the oven and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the heavy cream, butter, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the squash and garlic until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot as a delicious, low-carb accompaniment to any main dish.
