Mashed Butternut Squash with Garlic Butter
My go-to recipe for mashed butternut squash is perfect for the holidays or any time of year. If you’re looking for an alternative to overly-sweetened casseroles, this recipe is for you! Transform naturally sweet roasted butternut into a smooth, creamy puree, with seasoned garlic butter and a splash of heavy cream.
I don’t mind saying that this basic mashed butternut squash recipe defies expectations.
I left out added sugar and made it extra-savory by adding just a touch of cream and a a swirl of garlic butter.
