Ingredients

2 butternut squashes, halved and seeded

1 cup water

0.75 cup sour cream

0.5 cup butter

1 tablespoon brown sugar

0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

salt and ground black pepper to taste

2 sprigs fresh parsley

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Pierce the squash skin with a small knife and place cut-side down in a baking dish. Pour in enough water for a depth of 1/2 inch, then cover the dish with aluminum foil.

Bake until the squash is tender, approximately 1 hour.

Transfer the squash to a bowl and add the sour cream, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mash everything together until smooth using a potato masher or fork.

Garnish with parsley before serving.
