Ingredients

Roasted Butternut Squash (Halves)
  • 1 butternut squash
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup butter or ghee, melted
  • black pepper to taste
  • salt to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Farenheit.
  2. 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.
  3. Brush olive oil onto the cut side of the squash. Use about 1 tablespoon of oil and brush evenly.
  4. Season with salt, pepper, and any other seasoning you'd like.
  5. 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.
  6. Take the butternut squash out of the oven and let it cool. Then scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl.
  7. Mash the butternut squash with a hand masher or electric beater.
  8. Then, pour the butter into the mixture and continue mixing until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
  9. Scoop the mashed butternut squash into a bowl and garnish with rosemary or other herbs.
