A wonderful side dish combining seasonal butternut squash with sweet potato and a praline topping, perfect for the holidays.
Praline Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Casserole
Try adding this combination of sweet potatoes with butternut squash to your holiday menu.
We have a pretty short window of availability for any kind of winter squash in the south, and butternut barely gets a passing glance in the grocery stores here. Given that, it isn't a squash that I have experimented with much.
One thing I did find, however, was that I was not too wild about it at all in any kind of soup form, which seems one of the most common ways it is presented.
It didn't take me long to figure out that I preferred butternut be treated more on the sweet side than the savory, but I'm not too into sweet soups either. I have to say though, I was super pleased with the way that this dish turned out.
The squash and the sweet potatoes marry together so well in this dish, and the praline topping is just a perfect accent.
My husband aka The Cajun is not a veggie eater, though he will eat sweet potatoes. I managed to pull off this recipe without him knowing there was a bit of squash in it all! He simply thought it was sweet potato casserole. Hey. Don't judge. You do what you gotta do!
I photographed this on a Christmas plate thinking that it would be perfect for that special menu, but, of course, this is a great side dish for Thanksgiving too!
