Serves:

Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into cubes
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
