DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place squash in large microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup of water. Cover and microwave for 6 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, uncover and drain water. Set aside.
- Place onions in a small microwave-safe dish with 2 tablespoons water. Cover and microwave for 3 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, uncover and drain any excess water. Set aside.
- Place squash and all other ingredients except for the onions in a blender. (Make sure squash cubes are not still piping hot.) Pulse until thoroughly mixed (but not liquefied). Remove blender from the base, and then stir in the onions.
- Transfer squash mixture to a small casserole dish sprayed with nonstick spray. Place in the oven, and bake for 35 - 40 minutes (until edges begin to brown). Then serve with a spoon as you would mashed potatoes! Enjoy!
