Baked Butternut Squash

In the past when I've gotten butternut squash I always made soup with it. That's very delicious and all but I wanted to try something new. I decided to try this recipe and loved it! It's the perfect side dish for the fall and it was easy to make.

BAKED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

• 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
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

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

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.
