Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 2 pounds) butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Peel the butternut squash using a vegetable peeler. Cut off both ends of the squash, slice it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes and transfer the cubes to a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the squash cubes. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary, tossing everything together until the squash is evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned squash cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there’s enough space between each piece to allow for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and lightly browned, turning once halfway through.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the roasted butternut squash with grated parmesan cheese.
Transfer the squash to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy as a side dish or a nutritious, keto-friendly snack!
