How To Make Mashed Roasted Squash
Cut the top off the squash. As you’ll need to make extra to fill the shells, butternut squash is a great addition to whatever squash you’re filling. Scoop out the seeds just as you would do when making a Jack-o’-lantern. Coat with oil or cooking spray. Place the squash with its lid onto a baking tray and roast for 45 minutes. Once out of the oven add butter and brown sugar. Mash the squash into the shell using a fork. Season with salt and pepper and serve in the shell. Please note – This recipe calls for eight squash, but only serves four shells as it takes two squash to fill one shell (as pictured). Just remove the flesh from the extra squash, and add it to the one you’re serving before mashing.
