Ingredients
- 4 squash ( butternut recommended)
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil or vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper
Directions
Squash Puree
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, remove the seeds.
- Lay the squash halves, cut-side up, on a baking tray. Lightly drizzle or brush with the oil, and season with salt.
- Roast the squash, uncovered, in the oven for about 50 minutes, until the flesh is very tender. Remove from the oven.
- When cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh of the squash using a spoon. Reserve the skins.
- Place the squash in a bowl and mash with a fork. Or, for a smoother texture, transfer the squash to a blender and puree. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve puree with squash skin crumble.
Squash Skin Crumble
- Preheat an oven to its lowest setting—150 F is ideal.
- Transfer the reserved roasted squash skins to a parchment-lined baking tray. Place the tray in the oven for 8-10 hours, or until the squash skins are completely dry and brittle.
- Remove tray from the oven and allow to cool.
- Transfer the dried skins into a blender or food processor and blend to a medium-fine crumble consistency. Season with salt to taste.
