Ingredients

  • 1 cup diced butternut squash cooked
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • In a food processor combine cooked butternut squash, milk, cheese/yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.
  • Process for 2 minutes until smooth.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

To cook the squash, I usually like to place the diced squash in a bowl of water and microwave for ~8 minutes. You can also roast or steam it!
Can use all parmesan cheese, all nutrition yeast, or a combo.
Use dairy free or vegan milk, if desired. If not dairy free you can use regular milk.
