Ingredients
Roasted Butternut Squash (Halves)
- 1 butternut squash
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup melted butter or ghee
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Farenheit.
- Cut the squash in half. Using a sharp knife, cut off the ends by 1/4 to 1/2 inch, slice it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
- Brush olive oil onto the cut side of the squash. Use about 1 tablespoon of oil and brush evenly.
- Season with salt, pepper, and any other seasoning you'd like.
- Roast the halves. Place the squash cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 40-45 minutes. The cut edge should just start to caramelize.
- Take the butternut squash out of the oven and let it cool. Then scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl.
- Mash the butternut squash with a hand masher or electric beater.
- Then, pour the butter into the mixture and continue mixing until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Scoop the mashed butternut squash into a bowl and garnish with rosemary or other herbs.
