I made this a while back, but kept on forgetting to post it. I LOVE butternut squash. So I am always looking for more ways to prepare it. This was a yummy & simple recipe to change it up a little- it's a mix of mutternut squash, apples, ans potatoes. Yum!
1 small butternut squash, peeld & cubed
1 large potato, peeled & cut into pieces
1 granny smith apple, peeled & cut into pieces
1/3 c. greek yogurt
Combine in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cook until fork tender. Drain and puree in a food processor. Add yogurt and season with salt and pepper.
Top with butter & fresh herbs- thyme or sage go really well with butternut squash.
Butternut squash is great for you. It really high in Vitamins A (Beta Carotene) & C. It also has a good amount of B vitamins, Folate, & Potassium, Omega 3 fatty acids, Manganese, Iron, Niacin, Complex Carbohydrates and Fiber. The darker the skin of the squash, the higher the beta carotene content.
