Mashed Butternut Squash with Brown Sugar

Ingredients:

• 1 medium butternut squash (about 1lb/500g), washed, cut in half, with seeds and stringy parts removed
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) brown sugar
• 1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) ground nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp (1 mL ) grated orange peel (orange part only, with no white pith)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200 C)
In a shallow baking dish, place squash halves cut-side down. Cover with foil and bake 30 to 45 minutes, or until flesh is tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove from oven, peel, and cut into cubes.
In a large bowl, combine cubed squash, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and orange peel. Mash together or, using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until fluffy.
