How to Make Crumb Topped Butternut Squash

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel, deseed, and cube 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 lbs).
  3. Toss the cubed squash with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper on a large baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 30 minutes.
  5. While the squash is roasting, prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup breadcrumbs, ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons melted butter, ¼ teaspoon dried thyme, and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder.
  6. After 30 minutes of roasting, remove the baking sheet and sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the butternut squash.
  7. Return to the oven and roast for another 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme (optional).
