Parmesan Herb Roasted Acorn Squash
Description
In Parmesan Herb Roasted Acorn Squash, small to medium acorn squashes are sliced and deseeded, then mixed thoroughly with extra-virgin olive oil, fine grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, kosher salt, and dried herbs including basil, thyme, and oregano. Baking the squash at 425°F for 20 to 25 minutes softens the flesh while browning the herb and cheese coating slightly, adding texture and flavor.
The roasted squash slices can be served warm as a vegetable side dish with roasted meats or grain bowls. Its combination of aromatic herbs and sharp Parmesan complements the natural sweetness of the squash. The recipe is straightforward, requiring only tossing and roasting on a parchment-lined tray.
Ingredients
- 2 acorn squash small to medium sized
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese finely grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon basil dried
- ½ teaspoon thyme dried
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice the top and bottom of the squash, then place it on a flat end and slice it in half. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon, then slice each half into slices about 1-inch thick.
- Add the squash to a large mixing bowl along with the oil, parmesan, garlic, salt, basil, thyme, and oregano. Use your hand to toss the ingredients together, until well mixed.
- Place the squash slices on a parchment-lined baking tray. If there's extra parmesan herb mixture in the bowl, just press that onto the top side of the slices. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until soft and lightly golden on top.
- Transfer the roasted acorn squash to a serving platter and enjoy!
