For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter. To make brown butter, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling occasionally, until the butter turns a nutty brown color and smells fragrant. Be careful not to burn it!
Add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon for extra warmth.
A drizzle of maple syrup can add a touch of sweetness if desired.
This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated gently before serving.

    Absolutely delicious! The texture was so creamy, and the flavor was perfect. I added a little maple syrup, as suggested, and it was a hit!

  • Jermaine Goyette

    I used acorn squash instead of butternut, and it was still delicious. A great way to use up whatever winter squash you have on hand.

  • Viola Windler

    I added a little bit of brown sugar to mine and it gave it a nice caramel-y flavor.

  • Rory Koepp

    I was looking for a healthier alternative to mashed potatoes, and this recipe was exactly what I needed. Easy to make and so flavorful!

  • Jaycee Hodkiewicz

    This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now, and it always turns out perfectly. The tip about roasting uncovered for the last 15 minutes is great!

    So easy to make and the taste is divine! Will definitely be making this again.
