Helpful Cooking Instructions:

- Buttery and sweet, butternut squash is the star of this creamy dreamy, simple, smooth, and silky purée, which is prepared with carrots, onions, ginger, coconut milk, and veggie broth. - But don't be hesitant to serve it as an appetizer or lunch. - Peel your butternut squash more quickly by microwaving it whole to soften it before peeling. - Scoop out the squash insides, then roast until soft and caramelly. - Try butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for a sweeter version of roasted butternut squash.

Last Notes:

- But when the weather turns chilly, this warm and velvety butternut squash blends comfort food with better-for-you eating. - This recipe is intended to be gluten-free, vegetarian, and especially for vegans, but if that's not your thing, feel free to use broth (chicken, turkey, or veggie) and milk of your choice. - Store any extra butternut squash in the freezer for up to 6 months. You can also store unfinished butternut squash in the refrigerator for up to 3 months, providing you keep it covered. - In fact, this butternut squash will be more flavorful: the longer it has to mellow, the better it tastes. - But if you're short on time or prefer to prepare everything at the same moment, you can always microwave the squash until soft and then sauté the onions and ginger in butter, coconut oil, or ghee while the squash softens in the microwave.
