Vegan butternut squash. Butternut squash is cut in half and roasted in the oven for 45 minutes. Then scooped out and mixed with soy butter, maple syrup, and spices.
Jump to RecipeThis vegan butternut squash recipe is a nod to the traditional squash dish you would find at any Thanksgiving table. For Thanksgiving this year I would recommend this vegan butternut squash or this recipe for –> Roasted Squash and Brussels Sprouts. Both will satisfy your guests and both are pretty straightforward and not overly complicated with many ingredients.
For this vegan butternut squash, I like to first roast the squash halves and then let cool a little bit. Peel or cut off the skin then scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add in your soy butter, I buy earth balance, but whatever you have on hand will work. Then add maple syrup and your seasonings. I use pumpkin pie spice, salt, and pepper. Pumpkin pie spice has all the spices that really work with the squash- cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice. Add sparingly and taste.
