Mashed Cinnamon Butternut Squash Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pierce butternut squash skin with a small knife and place cut-side down in a baking dish; pour in enough water for a depth of 1/2 inch. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender, about 1 hour.
• Scoop squash into a bowl; add 3/4 cup sour cream, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mash mixture using a potato masher or fork until smooth. Garnish with parsley and 1 tablespoon sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Place squash, cut-side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Place 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon brown sugar into the cavity of each squash half.
• Bake in the preheated oven until skin is crispy and flesh is tender, about 1 hour. Cool until squash is easily handled, about 10 minutes.
• Scoop flesh into a large bowl; add remaining butter, brown sugar, and apple pie spice. Whip squash mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Toss the squash with the olive oil, cinnamon, ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until the squash is well coated, then spread it in a single layer on the prepared pan. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until soft and tender.
• Transfer the squash to a food processor, add the maple syrup, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt, and process until smooth and creamy. Do a FASS check. If you think it needs a little extra punch, try adding 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice.
• If you don't feel like dealing with a butternut squash, replace it with 3 carrots and 3 parsnips, chopped into 1-inch pieces.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.
