Equipment

  • Half Sheet Pans
  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 8 cups cubed butternut squash (roughly one 3 lb squash, peeled and cubed)
  • 2 medium apples, any type, chopped
  • 8 ounces carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
  • 2 Tablespoons cooking oil, divided (I use avocado oil, but any oil will work)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk (sold in a can in the international aisle)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 inch ginger, peeled (if using a high-powered blender add it whole, if using a lower-powered blender or immersion blender, grate the ginger first)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • water
  • For serving: yogurt or coconut yogurt, pumpkin seeds, cilantro

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F / 220°C. Set out two sheet pans.
  • Spread butternut squash out on one sheet pan. Spread apples and carrots out on the second sheet pan.
  • Toss butternut squash with 1 Tbsp cooking oil and 1/2 tsp salt. Toss apples and carrots with 1 Tbsp cooking oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp garam masala.
  • Roast vegetables until very tender, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating the pans and flipping the vegetables with a spatula halfway through cooking.
  • Combine roasted vegetables, coconut milk, ground turmeric, ginger, black pepper, and 2 cups water in a blender. Blend until smooth, adding more water as needed to reach a pourable consistency.
  • If the soup is warm enough you can serve immediately. Otherwise, transfer to a saucepan and bring to a simmer before serving.
  • Serve with yogurt, pumpkin seeds, and / or cilantro leaves if you'd like. Enjoy!
