Ingredients

1 medium butternut squash
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp of nutmeg
1/4 tsp of ginger
1/4 tsp of salt
2 eggs
1 cup of evaporated milk
1 prepared pie crust

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Place the squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until the flesh is very tender. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Scoop the cooked butternut squash flesh into a mixing bowl. Add the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and evaporated milk together. Add the egg mixture to the butternut squash mixture and stir until well combined.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (180°C) and continue baking for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool before serving. Enjoy!
