Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and cut the butternut squash into 1-inch cubes, discarding the seeds and fibrous insides.
Place the squash cubes on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and add the minced garlic cloves and fresh thyme. Toss to coat evenly.
Season the squash with salt and black pepper.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove the squash from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Transfer the roasted squash into a large mixing bowl. Add the unsweetened almond milk and nutritional yeast.
Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the squash until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more almond milk if preferred.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
