Whipped Butternut Squash with Cloves and Pecans

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time1 hour
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash
  • ½ cup melted Earth Balance Spread Original
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon ground cloves
  • ½ cup Sugar in the Raw
  • 1 cup pecan halves

Instructions

  • Spray Pam in a small baking dish. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Wash squash. Cut away the stem and top of the squash. Cut the squash in half lengthwise. Remove seeds completely. Place squash on the baking sheet. Brush ¼ of a cup of the melted Earth Balance on both halves. Sprinkle the cloves and cinnamon on the squash along with ½ of the sugar. Put the pecans in the open area of each squash. Pour the rest of the sugar over the pecans.
  • Put squash in the oven and bake until soft, about 1 hour.
  • When the squash is done, set it on a plate to cool. Remove the pecans and reserve them as a garnish. Spoon the squash into the baking dish. Whip it up a bit with a fork. Decorate the top with the roasted pecan halves. Pour the remaining Earth Balance on top of the squash and refrigerate until ready to heat and serve.

Bon appetit!
