Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 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 remove the seeds.
Place the squash halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, skin side up.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the cut sides of the squash, spreading it evenly.
Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil with a drizzle of olive oil and place them on the baking sheet.
Roast the squash and garlic in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the squash is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Using a spoon, scoop out the squash flesh into a large mixing bowl.
Squeeze the roasted garlic out of its skins and add it to the bowl with the squash.
Add the thyme, rosemary, nutritional yeast, almond milk, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
Mash the mixture using a potato masher or blend with an immersion blender until smooth.
Adjust seasonings to taste and stir in chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve warm and enjoy this rich and savory side dish as a complement to your favorite main course.
