Easy Roasted Butternut Squash Parmesan
Description
Because life is busy (and complicated!), squash is in season, and we all need more yummy ways to eat our vegetables and convince picky family members to do the same: Easy Roasted Butternut Squash Parmesan.
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash about 2 1/2 to 3 pounds, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese about 4 ounces, divided
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
Directions
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, stir together the squash, olive oil, garlic, salt, Italian seasoning, pepper, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Spread into a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and carefully toss the squash. Spread back into an even layer, sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan, then return to the oven and continue cooking until the squash is tender and the Parmesan is golden, about 10 additional minutes. Transfer to a bowl (or serve it right off the baking sheet). Sprinkle the thyme over the top. Enjoy hot.
