Butternut Squash Mash


You've have had traditional mash potatoes (not plaeo).  You've have had sweet potato mash.  Lastly, you have had cauliflower mash.  Well, now I give you Butternut squash mash.   Tah Dah!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a fairly easy recipe and the butternut squash is absolutely fabulous.  That right, I said fabulous.    The prep time is minimal but the bake time is almost an hour.  If you plan on making this dish, plan on sticking around the house while the butter nut squash bakes.

There is no magic here.   The directions are straight forward.  Even Dori can follow these directions without forgetting what do to.

Ingredients
1 large butternut squash
3 tablespoons of grass fed butter
3 tablespoons of real maple syrup
A pinch of cayenne pepper
Olive oil

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Cut butternut squash in half, then cut halves into wedges.  Coat butternut squash with olive oil and place in baking pan or cookie sheet.  Bake butternut squash for 45-50 min or until squash is soft.   Remove skin from squash and place squash into a food processor.  Add butter and puree the butternut squash until lumps are eliminated.  In a small bowl mix maple syrup and cayenne pepper then drizzle over butternut mash.  Serve HOT.
