Description
Similar to the Roasted Sweet Potato Puree, this is more of a method than a recipe, as unless you're a baby I don't expect you'll be eating this on its own. Butternut squash is a great pumpkin replacement, especially in this Pumpkin Pie Protein Overnight Oats, or my Protein Pumpkin Loaf. Butternut squash puree can also be used in place of mashed banana or applesauce; I've even had great success using it in my Chickpea Protein Brownies

- Pinch Salt
Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Preheat oven to 400F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
- Slice off the stem of the squash and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Sprinkle the inside with a little bit of salt
- Place the cut side down on the cookie sheet. Prick the skin of the squash with a fork
- Roast for about 50-70 minutes, or until tender. A knife should be able to easily pierce through it without any force
- Flip over and let cool until you can safely handle it, about 5 minutes
- Scrape off the insides from the skin and place into a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher, or blend in a food processor.
