Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 2 pounds) butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Peel the butternut squash using a vegetable peeler. Cut off both ends of the squash, slice it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
Step 3
Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes and transfer the cubes to a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the squash cubes. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary, tossing everything together until the squash is evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned squash cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there’s enough space between each piece to allow for even roasting.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and lightly browned, turning once halfway through.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the roasted butternut squash with grated parmesan cheese.
Step 8
Transfer the squash to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy as a side dish or a nutritious, keto-friendly snack!
