Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the butternut squash, then cut it in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the squash cubes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Mix well until the squash is evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned squash cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and lightly browned, turning the cubes halfway through roasting.
Remove the squash from the oven and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top. Return the squash to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Garnish with fresh thyme if desired and serve warm.
