Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Roasted Butternut Squash Puree.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, take your halved butternut squash and place it cut-side up on a baking sheet.
Step 3
This is where the magic begins! Roast the squash in the oven for about 45 minutes to an hour, until it’s tender and has developed a lovely golden-brown color.
Step 4
Once it’s perfectly roasted, let it cool for a bit until it’s easy to handle—this is a great time to savor the delicious aroma wafting through your kitchen.
Step 5
Now, scoop out the soft, sweet flesh of the squash and transfer it to a food processor.
Step 6
Give it a good pulse until it’s nice and smooth.
Step 7
To achieve your ideal consistency, gradually add in broth, starting with a quarter cup at a time, and keep pulsing until it’s just right.
Step 8
Finally, season your creamy puree with a sprinkle of salt and a dash of ground black pepper to taste.
Step 9
Enjoy the delightful flavors of your homemade butternut squash puree!.
