Butternut squash roasts into a naturally smooth, creamy puree. Stirring in butter and heavy cream after roasting adds calorie-dense fat. Making a big batch and freezing it in individual portions means a soft, high-calorie side is ready to reheat on busy days.

Ongoing nutrition and growth assessment are often needed to address feeding challenges and support healthy growth. Staying on top of nutrition is part of long-term wellness in Rett syndrome.

Ingredients

3 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (or plant-based butter for a dairy-free option)
½ cup heavy cream (or full-fat canned coconut milk for a dairy-free option)
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Toss the squash cubes with the olive oil and a pinch of salt, and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, until very tender and lightly caramelized at the edges.
Transfer the roasted squash to a food processor or blender. Add the butter and heavy cream.
Blend until completely smooth, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen the puree to a spoonable consistency.
Stir in the cinnamon, if using.
Divide into individual freezer-safe containers. Refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
To serve, reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave until warmed through, adding a splash of milk or water if it needs loosening.

Suitable for: Dairy-free diet (with plant-based butter and coconut milk), gluten-free diet, low-sodium diet, Rett syndrome-friendly diet, soft-food diet, vegetarian diet
