Mashed Pumpkin with Bay Leaves image

Sometimes I make this buttery pumpkin mash as a side dish instead of mashed potatoes. You can use any kind of winter squash or pumpkin.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 winter squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 tablespoon butter, melted
½ cup butter
7 fresh bay leaves
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon maple syrup, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place squash cut-side up on a baking sheet and brush with 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until squash flesh is soft and can easily be pierced with a fork, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, combine 1/2 cup butter and bay leaves in a saucepan over medium heat until melted. Remove from heat and set aside for at least 10 minutes to allow bay leaf flavor to infuse butter.
  • Scrape the squash flesh from the skin into a bowl using a spoon. Remove bay leaves from butter; discard leaves. Pour butter over squash and mash everything with a fork. Season with salt. Stir in maple syrup.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pumpkin turned out watery. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This was a good recipe, but I found it to be a bit bland. I think I would add more spices next time.
