Garlicky Baked Butternut Squash

Recipe from the lovely Anita

Let me just preface this ever so modestly by saying that this is the best way you will ever, ever, ever eat butternut squash. I’m not even joking!

I made this at the dinner party last week and it was a HUGE hit. I wished I had made 2!

Ingredients

• INGREDIENTS
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 3 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1/4-1/3 cup vegan Parmesan cheese OR grated Parmesan cheese*

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the parsley, oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Add squash and toss to coat.

Note: I was not vegan when this recipe was posted and we used parmesan cheese. I now make my own vegan parmesan cheese, by toasting sesame seeds and almonds in the oven. Then I process the seeds and nuts with a bit of nutritional yeast and salt (to taste). It makes a fantastic sub and is especially good on pasta!



2. Transfer to an ungreased shallow 2-qt. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 50-55 minutes or until squash is just tender.

Serve & enjoy with friends and family:
