Ingredients

– 1 medium butternut squash

Instructions

Creating Roasted Butternut Squash with Garlic Butter Parmesan is a simple process that yields fantastic results. Follow these steps to achieve perfectly roasted squash:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting.
2. Prepare the Squash: Peel the butternut squash and slice it in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds using a spoon.
3. Cut into Cubes: Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
4. Melt the Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
5. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the butternut squash, salt, black pepper, thyme, and melted garlic butter. Toss until all pieces are well-coated.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated squash cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes or until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized. Stir halfway through for even cooking.
8. Add Cheese: Remove the squash from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.

These simple steps will guide you in crafting this delicious dish with ease.
