Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
Place the squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the butternut squash in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the flesh is fork-tender.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the squash cool slightly so you can handle it.
Scoop out the roasted butternut squash flesh into a large mixing bowl, discarding the skins.
Add the ghee, coconut milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to the bowl with the squash.
Mash the mixture using a potato masher or blend with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy.
Taste the mash and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
Serve the butternut squash mash warm as a side dish with your favorite Whole30 meals.
