Ingredients
- 1 small butternut squash (peeled, seeded and cut large chunks)
- 3 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and cut small chunks)
- 2 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ⅓ cup milk (warmed in microwave)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
Instructions
- Place peeled butternut squash and sweet potato chunks in a large pot and cover with water.
- Bring to a boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until fork tender. (It is important to test with a fork because knives are too sharp to be an accurate test of doneness.) Strain squash and potatoes and return to warm pot.
- Add butter, honey, warm milk, cinnamon, salt, pepper and orange zest. Using a potato smasher to combine ingredients until butter is melted and mixture is smooth. For a whipped texture, use an electric mixer and beat on medium for 2 minutes.
Notes
- This dish makes a fabulous Shepherd’s Pie topping as well! It’s also very freezer friendly.
- For an extra depth of flavor, try roasting the squash and potatoes instead of boiling them!
