If you have a butternut squash and your not sure what to do with it, this is a great recipe that really goes well with any protein. If you don’t have butternut but another squash, that should work fine as well.

The quickest and easiest way I found to cut the butternut is with the Inspiralizer . You may have seen me do that on my noodle-less butternut squash lasagna recipe I posted a few weeks ago, it is so much easier than using a knife. If you don’t have one it will take a bit more time and make sure to slice evenly.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Slice butternut squash into 1/4-inch thick slices. You can do this with a knife, I did this with my spiralizer which is much easier, click here for directions.
  • In a large bowl, combine the milk, garlic, shallot, thyme, ½ of the parmesan, ½ teaspoon salt and pepper.  Add the squash and toss to coat. Spray a medium oven-safe casserole dish with cooking spray.  Transfer squash mixture to casserole dish and set aside.
  • In a medium microwave safe bowl, melt butter.  Add breadcrumbs, remaining parmesan, ¼ teaspoon salt, and pepper.  Evenly spread breadcrumb mixture over squash, cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.  Uncover and broil 2-3 minutes to brown top (watch carefully because it browns quickly!)
