Sweet and Spicy Butternut Squash by Shubhra Ramineni of Entice with Spice

BonBon Break

butternut squashIt is amazing what three easy steps and a few spices can do to butternut squash. This firm winter squash with its camel exterior and orange flesh easily cooks down into a divine dish with a soft mashed consistency. This was served at my book launch party at Whole Foods Market and the guests were raving about it! Children also love this dish, and it makes a nice little sandwich when stuffed between a soft dinner roll…even adults love the mini sandwiches! I made this dish at our previous family Thanksgiving dinner and it was enjoyed by all, so it will be appearing again at the table this year! The spice level is mild, but can be increased if you prefer.
