Ingredients
- 2 medium butternut squash
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and chop the butternut squash into 1-inch cubes. Remove the seeds and stringy insides.
Place the chopped squash on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the squash and season with salt and pepper. Toss to ensure even coating.
Roast the butternut squash in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
While the squash is roasting, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Once the squash is done, transfer it to a large mixing bowl or back into the baking sheet pan.
Add the minced garlic, coconut milk, remaining olive oil, and rosemary to the squash.
Using a potato masher or immersion blender, mash the squash until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
