Ingredients
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.
