Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups butternut squash
- 1 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 1 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and dice the butternut squash into 1-inch cubes, removing seeds and stringy flesh.
Place the butternut squash cubes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, toss to coat, and spread them out in an even layer.
Add the whole garlic cloves (with peels on) to the baking sheet alongside the squash.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
Allow the roasted squash and garlic to cool slightly. Remove the garlic peels by squeezing the softened garlic out of its skin.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted butternut squash, roasted garlic, almond milk, parmesan cheese (if using), salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more almond milk, a tablespoon at a time, if needed.
Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
Serve the sauce warm over pasta, as a dip, or as a topping for roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
