Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 acorn squash small
  • 1/2 cup olive oil extra virgin
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese finely grated
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 TBSP Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425℉.
  • Begin prepping the squash. Start by removing the squash's top to create a flat surface. Next, cut the squash down the middle in half and scoop out any seeds with a spoon. Next, cut the scooped squash into half slices roughly ¾ - 1 in thick.
  • Add the squash to a large mixing bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Next, add the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and toss well. Lay on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the acorn squash slices are soft and begin to turn golden brown! Serve as a side with a lean protein and a green vegetable for a perfect dinner.
