Parmesan Herb Roasted Acorn Squash


Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 acorn squash, small to medium sized
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp dried basil
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice the top and bottom off the squash, then place it on a flat end and slice it in half. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon, then slice each half into pieces about 1 inch thick.
  2. Add squash to a large mixing bowl with the oil, Parmesan, garlic, salt, basil, thyme, and oregano. Toss until well mixed.
  3. Place squash slices on a parchment-lined baking tray. If there’s extra Parmesan-herb mixture left in the bowl, press it onto the tops of the slices. Bake 20–25 minutes, until soft and lightly golden on top.
  4. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.
