The fall and winter months often feature roasted root vegetable dishes made for holiday meals. Well, raw vegans can enjoy root vegetables, too! Butternut squash is actually an easy squash variety to incorporate into raw vegan dishes. The creaminess and sweetness make it excellent for blended recipes, like this puree.
The addition of pear to this squash puree adds a wonderful sweetness that is quite addictive. In fact, it’s so good that you’ll probably come back for a second helping. If you do want to showcase a healthier dish at the Thanksgiving table, or you just want a light fall-themed puree, this is your go-to recipe. We hope you like it as much as we do!
