This 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.
