Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, parsley, herbes de Provence, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Add the diced butternut squash to the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure each piece is well coated with the flavorful mixture. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Arrange the squash in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet, ensuring there's enough space for even cooking. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then turn the squash pieces to ensure even browning. (15 minutes)

06

Step

Continue baking for another 10 minutes. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the squash. (1 minute)

08

Step

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the Parmesan cheese is melted and golden brown. (20 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using roasted garlic instead of fresh minced garlic.
A sprinkle of red pepper flakes adds a delightful hint of heat.
If you don't have herbes de Provence, you can substitute with a mix of dried thyme, rosemary, and oregano.
To test for doneness, pierce a piece of squash with a fork; it should be easily pierced with little resistance.
