Mashed Roasted Butternut Squash Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut each squash in half the long way. Place cut sides down on baking sheet; roast until very tender, about 45 minutes. When just cool enough to handle, scoop out seeds. Spoon squash from tough skin into a bowl.
• Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots; cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with ginger; add squash. Add stock; using a fork, mash squash to a puree. Add more stock as needed to adjust consistency. Season with salt and pepper, and serve warm.

Steps:

• Halve 1 large unpeeled butternut squash (about 3 pounds) and cut into thick wedges, discarding the seeds. Toss with olive oil and roast at 400 degrees F until soft, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove the skin. Puree the squash with 3 tablespoons butter; season with salt. Warm a few tablespoons of maple syrup with a pinch of cayenne pepper; drizzle over the mash.
• Use a food processor or immersion blender to puree these veggies-they're too fibrous for a potato masher.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Cut the squash in half lengthwise through the stem. (Don't bother scooping out the seeds.) Rub the squash halves all over with olive oil and place each piece on a baking sheet, cut-side down. Roast for 25 minutes, then flip the squash and continue cooking until tender all over, another 10 to 30 minutes-you should be able to pierce the neck of the squash with a paring knife and meet very little resistance. Allow to cool, then scoop out the seeds and discard them. Use a spoon to scoop all of the flesh into a bowl and discard the skins. Coarsely mash the squash with a spoon or fork and season with salt. Packed in an airtight container, it will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

Steps:

• Halve and seed 2 honeynut squash (or 1 small butternut squash). Rub all over with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast cut-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet at 450 degrees F until tender, about 25 minutes. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash with 2 tablespoons butter and a pinch each of nutmeg, cayenne and salt. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and chives.

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.
