Roasted Butternut Squash Mash

Ingredients

Cooking Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Cut the squash in half and remove the seeds using a spoon. (Discard seeds.) Brush the cut sides with some of the butter and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Place the squash in a baking dish or rimmed baking sheet and wrap pan well with aluminum foil. Cook until squash is fork tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and, using a large spoon, scoop the flesh from the skin and place squash in a heatproof mixing or serving bowl. Using a potato masher, mash the squash to the desired texture. Add the remaining butter, the heavy cream, and brown sugar. Stir to combine then taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
