• Ground black pepper, to taste

How To Make Butternut Squash Puree Recipe?

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Prepare the Squash: Place the halved butternut squash, flesh-side up, on a baking sheet.
3. Roast the Squash: Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until tender and slightly browned. Allow it to cool until it is safe to handle.
4. Scoop and Blend: Scoop the roasted squash flesh into a food processor. Pulse until smooth.
5. Add Broth Gradually: While blending, add the broth 60ml (1/4 cup) at a time until you achieve your desired consistency.
6. Season: Add salt and black pepper to taste, and blend briefly to combine.

Recipe Tips:

• Choose the right squash: Pick a butternut squash with a firm, unblemished skin and a deep orange color. This ensures a sweet, rich flavor and a creamy texture.
• Roast for deeper flavor: Roasting the squash until slightly caramelized brings out its natural sweetness and adds depth to the purée.
• Blend for smoothness: Use a food processor or blender to achieve a velvety-smooth consistency. For an extra creamy texture, strain the purée through a fine mesh sieve.
• Add broth slowly: Gradually add broth while blending to control the consistency. Stop when it’s as thick or thin as you like.
• Season thoughtfully: Start with a small amount of salt and pepper, then adjust to taste. Over-seasoning can overpower the squash’s natural flavor.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Cool the purée to room temperature and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.
• Freeze: Cool the purée, put it in a freezer-safe container, and freeze for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Warm the purée in a pan on low heat, stirring often, and add broth if it’s too thick.
