Crusted Butternut Squash
- 1 butternut squash (about 2 lbs.)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 12 teaspoon ground nutmeg, fresh
- 13 cup fresh breadcrumb (can use Panko)
- 12 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 minced garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
- 14 cup fresh thyme leave
- salt and pepper
- Oven to 400.
- Peel the squash (vegetable peeler works great).
- Slice it in half length wise and discard the seeds.
- Cut into 1/4'' slices.
- On a parchment lined baking tray, pile the squash, drizzle the olive oil and the nutmeg and toss everything to coat evenly.
- All should have a thin coat of oil, amount may vary based on size of the squash.
- Spread them out in a single layer on the baking tray.
- You may need to use two, too much overlap won't yield a crunchy crust.
- In a food processor (or magic bullet) pulse together the breadcrumbs, parmesan, garlic, both herbs, a few pinches of salt and a lot of fresh black pepper.
- Sprinkle the topping on the squash.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes until the tops are browned and the squash is cooked.
