Baked Butternut Squash Gratin*

Serves 4

 

One 2-3 pound butternut squash (or other winter squash)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

1/3 cup chopped pecans

2 Tbsp. fresh thyme leaves

1/4 cup butter

salt/pepper

 

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Peel and seed the squash. Cut it into 1-inch cubes. Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan with non-stick spray and put the squash cubes in the prepared pan. Season squash with salt and pepper.

 

In a small bowl, mix the Parmesan, bread crumbs, pecans, and thyme. Sprinkle over the squash.

 

Dot the top with the butter. Bake 35-45 minutes until the squash is tender and the top is lightly browned. 

 

 

This is a great change—savory instead of sweet. So delicious!
