Simple Yet Splendid Winter Squash

1. 1

   Heat oven to 400 degrees.

2. 2

   Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet large enough to hold the two halves of squash. Place them cut side down on the baking sheet.

3. 3

   Roast for at least 45 minutes, rotating the pan once, after 25 minutes.

4. 4

   Let the squash cool until it's comfortable to handle. Then, remove the seeds and gooey orange fibers adhering to them with a spoon, scraping clean the cavity on each half.

5. 5

   Peel and put the roasted squash into a medium-large bowl; mash thoroughly. (If you want this pureed, put it in a food processor and blitz until smooth, about 3 minutes, scraping after the 1st and 2d minutes.)

6. 6

   Warm the almond milk gently in a microwave oven or in a small pan on the stove. Add to the squash, and then sprinkle on the garam masala and a good pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.

7. 7

   Taste and add more salt and/or garam masala if necessary.

8. 8

   Enjoy!! ;o)
