Roasted Butternut Squash Puree

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 2 1/4 cups

Ingredients

3 pounds butternut squash, halved and seeded
Canola oil, for baking sheet

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the squash halves, skin side up, on an oiled rimmed baking sheet. Bake until fork tender, about 1 1/4 hours. Remove from the oven. Turn over; let stand until cool enough to handle.

    Step 2
