Garlic Parmesan Roasted Butternut Squash
Description
This recipe begins with peeled and seeded butternut squash cut into small cubes. The squash is tossed with melted butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and finely chopped parsley to infuse flavor throughout. Roasting at 400°F (207°C) allows the edges to caramelize slightly while the interior softens.
After roasting for about 40 minutes to achieve tenderness and a light brown surface, grated Parmesan cheese is sprinkled over the hot squash, then returned to the oven briefly to melt and slightly brown the cheese. The Parmesan adds a nutty, salty layer that complements the buttery garlic seasoning.
The final dish has a balance of sweet roasted squash, aromatic garlic butter, and savory cheese, making it appealing as a side dish with meats or as part of a vegetarian meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (500g) butternut squash peeled and cut into small chunks
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 4 tbsp butter melted
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 dashes black pepper
- 1/4 cup parsley finely chopped, leaves
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C).
- Peel the butternut squash with a peeler, then use a spoon to scrape out the pulp and seeds. Cut the squash into cubes and small chunks.
- In a salad bowl, toss the butternut squash cubes with the garlic, melted butter, salt, pepper, and parsley leaves.
- Transfer the butternut squash to a baking sheet. Spread it out in an even, single layer (without overlap), and roast for about 40 minutes, or until the surface is light brown and the flesh is tender and soft.
- Turn off the heat, remove the baking sheet from the oven, and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top of the squash. Return it to the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese. Serve immediately.
