Ingredients (raw weights)

Steps

  1. 1⃣ Preheat oven to 410°F.
  2. 2⃣ Cut 1 large butternut squash in half, clean out the middle, and score it diagnollay with a sharp knife so it cooks better and soaks up the spices. Place it on a baking sheet or tray.
  3. 3⃣ Cut 1 large red onion into eighths, add to the tray.
  4. 4⃣ Grab 12-14 mini red peppers (or 2 red bell peppers), cut in half, remove seeds, and add to the tray.
  5. 5⃣ Drizzle or spray 1 tbsp oil, 1-2 tbsp onion powder, 1 tbsp thyme, and 1 tbsp smoked paprika over the veggies.
  6. 6⃣ Slice the top off a garlic bulb, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, wrap in foil or parchment, and add to the tray. Roast everything at 410°F for ~50 mins.
  7. 7⃣ Once roasted, scoop the squash out of the skin, squeeze out the garlic, and toss all veggies into a blender.
  8. 8⃣ Pour in ~20oz bone broth, 3 servings of cottage cheese (around 3/4 of a tub).
  9. 9⃣ Blend really well until smooth. Then top if you wish. I like to add 1/2 tbsp cream, a drizzle of chipotle hot sauce (this is key!), and some fresh herbs like cilantro.
