Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 butternut squash
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 4 tablespoons ghee butter
  • salt and black pepper
  • cayenne pepper (for garnishing)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Set aside.
  • Wash and cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds.
  • Place both halves face up on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic.
  • Roast in the oven for 45-60 minutes until fork tender. Remove the squash from the oven, and let cool for about 5 minutes. Using a large spoon, remove all the squash flesh from the skin, and place it into a bowl for mashing.
  • Add the ghee, sea salt, and pepper, and mash well with a whisk, masher, food processor, or hand blender until fluffy and smooth.
  • Sprinkle with cayenne pepper and ghee for extra flavour before serving.
