Ingredients
- 1 cup, peeled and diced butternut squash
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 1 cup diced butternut squash and 1 cup diced tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, then spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes until caramelized and tender, stirring once halfway.
- Step 2: In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 1/2 finely chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 5 minutes until golden and fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
