Whipped Butternut Squash & Sweet Potato Recipe
the perfect complements
It's always satisfying to see a pairing that creates something greater than their parts. In this butternut squash and sweet potatoes recipe, that's just what happens. Sometimes butternut squash can be a bit watery and sweet potatoes stringy or starchy.
In this recipe, the potato's starch is the perfect complement for the squash. The trick is to blend them, it's a great way to bring out the best texture of both vegetables.
