Ingredients

• 1 large butternut squash
• 6 medium shallots
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the butternut squash, remove the seeds, and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubes in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Peel and halve the shallots. Add them to the bowl with the butternut squash.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil over the squash and shallots, then sprinkle with thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves, and add them to the bowl. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned squash and shallots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between the vegetables for even roasting.

Step 7

Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through, until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized, and the shallots are golden and soft.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the vegetables cool slightly. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese before serving for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own!
