Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small Butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Peel the butternut squash, then slice it in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into 1/2-inch thick slices.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced squash with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the squash is evenly coated with the seasonings.
Arrange the seasoned squash slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that they do not overlap for even baking.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the squash slices.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the squash is tender and the cheese is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the baked squash from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly baked squash as a side dish to complement your main course!
