Simple Roasted Squash Mash Recipes

Steps:

• Halve and seed 2 honeynut squash (or 1 small butternut squash). Rub all over with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast cut-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet at 450 degrees F until tender, about 25 minutes. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash with 2 tablespoons butter and a pinch each of nutmeg, cayenne and salt. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and chives.

Steps:

• Halve 1 large unpeeled butternut squash (about 3 pounds) and cut into thick wedges, discarding the seeds. Toss with olive oil and roast at 400 degrees F until soft, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove the skin. Puree the squash with 3 tablespoons butter; season with salt. Warm a few tablespoons of maple syrup with a pinch of cayenne pepper; drizzle over the mash.
• Use a food processor or immersion blender to puree these veggies-they're too fibrous for a potato masher.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Cut the squash in half lengthwise through the stem. (Don't bother scooping out the seeds.) Rub the squash halves all over with olive oil and place each piece on a baking sheet, cut-side down. Roast for 25 minutes, then flip the squash and continue cooking until tender all over, another 10 to 30 minutes-you should be able to pierce the neck of the squash with a paring knife and meet very little resistance. Allow to cool, then scoop out the seeds and discard them. Use a spoon to scoop all of the flesh into a bowl and discard the skins. Coarsely mash the squash with a spoon or fork and season with salt. Packed in an airtight container, it will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Peel and cut the squash and sweet potatoes into chunks. Divide between 2 roasting tins with the garlic and red chilli. Toss with the oil.
• Roast for 45 mins. Halve and deseed the chilli, then chop. Squeeze out the garlic and mash everything together. Season and drizzle with oil to serve. Great with roast chicken, chorizo, blue cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pierce butternut squash skin with a small knife and place cut-side down in a baking dish; pour in enough water for a depth of 1/2 inch. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender, about 1 hour.
• Scoop squash into a bowl; add 3/4 cup sour cream, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mash mixture using a potato masher or fork until smooth. Garnish with parsley and 1 tablespoon sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Toss butternut squash with olive oil and garlic in a large bowl. Season with salt and black pepper. Arrange coated squash on a baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until squash is tender and lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut each squash in half the long way. Place cut sides down on baking sheet; roast until very tender, about 45 minutes. When just cool enough to handle, scoop out seeds. Spoon squash from tough skin into a bowl.
• Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots; cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with ginger; add squash. Add stock; using a fork, mash squash to a puree. Add more stock as needed to adjust consistency. Season with salt and pepper, and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the squash, cut sides down, in a glass baking dish. Place the baking dish into the oven and pour enough water into the baking sheet to fill halfway up the sides (this will help steam the squash so it doesn't dry out, making the flesh easier to mash). Place the foil-wrapped garlic directly on an oven rack. Roast the garlic and squash until very tender, about 1 hour. Cool slightly.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a heavy, small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and apple and saute until crisp tender, about 6 minutes. Season with salt, to taste.
• Scoop the cooled acorn squash flesh into a large bowl. Using a potato masher, mash the flesh until smooth. Unwrap the garlic and squeeze the roasted garlic flesh into the squash puree. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter and mash. Stir in the thyme and season with salt, to taste. Place the mash in serving bowl and top with apple and leek saute.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place squash in the preheated oven and bake until easily pierced with a knife, 45 to 60 minutes.
• Cut baked squash in half lengthwise, remove seeds with a spoon. Remove meat from skin and place into a serving bowl. Mash squash with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
