Smothered Cajun-Spiced Squash
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash halves on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
-
While the squash is roasting, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
-
Stir in the Cajun seasoning and cook for another minute.
-
Add the vegetable broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer.
-
Once the squash is roasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Scoop out the flesh and add it to the skillet.
-
Use a fork to mash the squash into the vegetable broth, creating a thick and creamy sauce.
-
Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the flavors are well combined.
-
Serve the smothered squash over rice or with crusty bread. Garnish with green onions and parsley. Enjoy!
