Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 0.5 cup vegetable broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and seed the butternut squash, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, toss the squash cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned squash cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast the squash in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Once roasted, allow the squash to cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a blender or food processor.
Add 0.5 cup of vegetable broth to the roasted squash and blend until smooth and creamy. You may need to add more broth if a thinner consistency is desired.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve the butternut squash puree warm as a side dish or a base for your Whole30 meals.
