Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Acorn squash
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the acorn squash in half from top to bottom and scoop out the seeds and stringy bits from the center using a spoon.
Slice each half into 1-inch thick slices for even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Add the squash slices to the bowl and toss until the slices are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the squash slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the squash in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the squash is golden brown and fork-tender.
Remove the squash from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish, or enjoy as a main course for a light keto-friendly meal.
