Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut both acorn squashes in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp. Slice each half into 1-inch-thick wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, fresh rosemary, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Add the acorn squash wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the olive oil mixture.
Arrange the wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the squash wedges.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until the squash is tender and the Parmesan topping is golden and crisp.
Remove the squash from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with additional rosemary if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or a hearty snack. Enjoy!
