How to Prepare Smoky Butternut Squash Sauce [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel and cut the butternut squash into small chunks. Toss them with 2 tablespoons of oil and pinch of salt and pepper. Lay them out evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes or until very tender and browned on some pieces.
  3. When the butternut squash is done roasting combine it with the water, cashews, garlic powder, turmeric, paprika and a pinch of salt and pepper in a blender and puree until totally smooth.

  4. Place the sauce to a pot and warm up before serving.
