Sweet Butternut Pecan Mash

Picture
Inspired by Thanksgiving, I have created a super simple and delicious side dish.

This colorful mash is a tasty combination of both sweet potatoes & butternut squash.
Sweetened with maple syrup, spiced with lots of cinnamon, and topped with crunchy roasted pecans really seals the deal for your taste buds.  

I hope you enjoy this fun satisfyingly sweet dish! 

SWEET BUTTERNUT PECAN MASH

INGREDIENTS:
  • 4 small or 3 large sweet potatoes, halved
  • 1 butternut squash or 4 cups, cubed
  • ​2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1 cup of pecans
​
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 large baking pans with aluminum foil for easy clean up.   
  2. Add halved sweet potatoes to one baking sheet, and the cubed butternut squash to another. Drizzle each with 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Roast both butternut squash and sweet potatoes for 30-35 minutes or until soft and tender. 
  4. Remove from oven, and let cool for 5 minutes.  Place butternut squash in a large baking dish.  Scoop sweet potato out of the skin and place inside the same dish. 
  5. Use a hand-masher to mash both squash and sweet potatoes until it's a soft, mushy consistency. 
  6. Add maple syrup, coconut oil, and cinnamon into the mash. Mix altogether with a spatula. 
  7. Smooth out your mash mixture with a spatula until the mash is an even flat surface.  Place pecans on top of your mash any way you wish.  Sprinkle a heavy layer all over or make a pecan art piece - :). 
  8. Bake mash in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Let cool before serving. 

Enjoy this as a side dish for breakfast, lunch or dinner :)


          Always craving health & happiness,
