Mashed Butternut Squash Recipe

Recipe By Southern Living

What if we told you there was a foolproof side you could make all season longand it only has five ingredients? Better even than the ingredients list: this side requires only 15 minutes of hands-on prep. What is this easy dish, you ask? Its a warm and creamy butternut mash. While butternut squash is available year-round, it is especially delicious in winter, and this side makes the most of its complex flavors. All youll need for this recipe (five ingredients, remember?) is butternut squash, olive oil, butter, kosher salt, and black pepper. The total prep time for this butternut mash is 1 hour and 10 minutes, with the bulk of that time spent baking the butternut squash in the oven. The squash is prepared firstbaking until tender ensures the pulp of the squash is ready for mashing. Then butter is added, then more mashing. The goal of this recipe is a final product thats as smooth as can be. Add the salt and pepper to taste, and youll be on your way to the dinner table in no time. This cold-weather squash wont steal the spotlight on the dinnertime or holiday spread, but it will certainly elevate it.
