πŸ‚ Parmesan Herb Roasted Acorn Squash offers a delicious, cheesy way to enjoy nutritious squash with flavorful herbs.
πŸ§€ This easy recipe transforms simple ingredients into a perfect savory side dish ideal for fall meals.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 small to medium acorn squashes

ΒΌ cup oil

1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Β½ teaspoon salt

Β½ teaspoon dried basil

Β½ teaspoon dried thyme

Β½ teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

1-First, preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) to ensure even roasting and caramelization.

2-Next, carefully slice the top and bottom off each squash, cut each one in half, and scoop out the seeds to prepare it for roasting.

3-Then, in a large bowl, toss the squash slices with the oil, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, dried basil, dried thyme, and dried oregano until well coated for that flavorful herb mix.

4-After tossing, arrange the slices on a parchment-lined baking tray, pressing any leftover parmesan herb mixture on top of each piece for extra crunch.

5-Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the slices are soft and lightly golden, checking halfway to make sure they cook evenly.

6-Finally, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving; this step helps the flavors settle and makes it easier to handle.

Notes

πŸ§€ Use freshly grated parmesan from a block for best flavor.
🌿 Choose dried herbs over fresh to prevent burning during roasting.
❄️ Prep slices ahead but add seasoning just before baking to maintain freshness.
