Velvety Roasted Butternut Squash

A smooth, nutrient-dense puree made by roasting butternut squash to bring out its natural sweetness. High in Vitamin A for healthy vision and Vitamin C for a strong immune system.
Ingredients
- 1 piece Butternut Squash
- 2-4 tablespoons Liquid for thinning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the exterior of the squash thoroughly, then cut it in half lengthwise.
- Use a spoon to scoop out all the seeds and stringy pulp.
- Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast for 45-50 minutes, or until the skin is puckered and the flesh is very soft when pierced with a fork.
- Allow the squash to cool until safe to handle, then scoop the soft orange flesh out of the skin and into a blender or food processor.
- Puree until completely silky. If the mixture is too thick, add a small amount of warm water, breast milk, or formula to reach a runny consistency.
- Optional: Stir in a tiny pinch of ground cinnamon for a warming flavor boost.
