A hearty and comforting winter squash casserole, perfect for fall and winter meals. This recipe uses butternut or acorn squash and is filled with warm spices and simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds butternut or acorn squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Toss the cubed squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
  3. While the squash is roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the roasted squash, sautéed onion mixture, vegetable broth, and heavy cream. Gently mash some of the squash with a fork to create a creamy texture.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 8×8 inch baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and bubbly, and the cheese is golden brown.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • You can use either butternut or acorn squash for this recipe.
