Ingredients
  

  • 1 (2 ½ pound) butternut squash, peeled, seeded and chopped
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • thyme leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F.
  • Pour squash, potato and garlic onto a baking sheet and toss with oil. Season generously with salt and pepper and roast in oven until fork tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • While squash and potato roast, make browned butter.
  • Place butter in a small saucepan and melt over low heat. Continue to melt until butter begins to brown and emits a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Remove squash, potato and garlic from oven and pour into a blender with half of the browned butter and puree. Add cream, season with salt and pepper and continue to puree until smooth.
  • Remove from blender and transfer to a bowl or platter. Pour remaining butter over puree and top with thyme leaves. Serve.
