Check out those Butternut Squash swoops with browned butter! This butternut squash puree is super smooth and yummy. A perfect little side dish for Thanksgiving. I love it in addition to mashed potatoes, because you can’t replace mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving. I love how this gets smothered in browned butter, it’s pretty fantastic when you mix it with the pureed roasted butternut squash. It’s honestly amazing actually. This is so good, it could be the cranberry sauce on your plate. The kind of thing you put on every little bite. Of course it helps that the butternut squash puree is drowned is delicious brown butter.
