PARMESAN ACORN SQUASH

By joanmarie

Ingredients

• 2 (1 1/2-pound) acorn squash
• 1/4 cup(s) grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup(s) dry breadcrumbs
• 1/4 teaspoon(s) cayenne pepper
• 3 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with sides with foil. Cut each squash in half and scoop out seeds and strings with a spoon. Cut each squash half lengthwise into 4 wedges.
2.On a plate, toss cheese, breadcrumbs, and cayenne until blended. Brush cut sides of squash wedges with butter, then dip into cheese mixture, just to coat cut sides. Arrange, cut-side down, on prepared baking sheet.
3.Roast 14 minutes; turn wedges to other side. Roast 14 minutes longer, or until squash is tender and lightly golden brown.
