Double-Baked Butternut Squash

by Editorial Staff

This easy to prepare yet healthy and highly effective pumpkin rind garnish will impress your family over a festive dinner. Scoop the baked pumpkin flesh out of the rind so as not to damage it, crush it with the baked sweet potato, cream, and butter-like mashed potatoes, and place back in the pumpkin rind bowls. Then the mashed potatoes are sprinkled with crumbled goat cheese and baked again to melt the cheese on the surface. Sprinkle the garnish with green onions and pumpkin seeds and place in the crusts on the table. Pumpkin puree with sweet potato goes well with meat and poultry dishes.
