4 servings
- 1 large butternut squash (about 3 lb), halved lengthwise and seeded
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp heavy cream
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Ingredient noteSome low histamine plans avoid cinnamon, but cinnamon doesn't actually contain histamine. This recipe only uses about 1/8 teaspoon per serving. If you prefer to always avoid cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Ingredient noteLow histamine diets often limit warming spices like nutmeg. The trace amount used here is likely tolerated. If you prefer to always avoid nutmeg, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¾ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For serving
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced (optional)
Ingredient noteSmall amounts of the onion family are often well-tolerated on a low histamine diet. This recipe only uses about 3/4 teaspoon per serving. If you prefer to always avoid fresh chives, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Brush the cut sides of the squash halves with the olive oil and place them cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 30–35 minutes, until the flesh is completely tender when pierced with a fork and the cut edges are lightly caramelized.
