Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs butternut squash or acorn squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Toss the cubed squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast the squash for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
  4. While the squash is roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Add the minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the skillet and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  7. In a large bowl, combine the roasted squash, sautéed onion mixture, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese.
  8. Mix gently until everything is well combined.
  9. Pour the mixture into a greased 8×8 inch baking dish.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and bubbly.
  11. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Feel free to use a mix of butternut and acorn squash for added flavor and texture.
  • For a dairy-free option, use full-fat coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
  • You can add a pinch of nutmeg for an extra layer of warmth.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
