Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled, de-seeded, chopped into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Don't be stingy
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Fresh is always king, but pre-grated works in a pinch
  • optional a pinch of garlic powder, chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme Optional for added flavor

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
  • Spread the cubed butternut squash on a large baking sheet.
  • Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using), then toss to combine.

Roasting

  • Roast the squash for about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and scatter the Parmesan cheese over the tops.
  • Return to the oven and roast for another 8 to 12 minutes, until the cheese is golden and crispy.

Finishing

  • Let the dish rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

To keep the squash from getting soggy, avoid crowding the pan. Try adding smoked paprika or cayenne for added spice, or drizzle some maple syrup or honey for sweetness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
