Making Parmesan-Roasted Butternut Squash is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Squash: Peel and cube the butternut squash into 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
3. Season the Squash: In a large bowl, combine the cubed squash with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until the squash is well-coated.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned squash in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Roast the Squash: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes.
6. Add Parmesan: Remove the baking sheet from the oven, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the squash, and return it to the oven.
7. Continue Roasting: Roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the cheese is golden brown.
8. Garnish: Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
9. Serve: Transfer the roasted squash to a serving dish and enjoy!
