Ingredients
Scale
1 medium butternut squash (about 2 lbs), peeled, seeded, and cubed
1 medium acorn squash (about 1.5 lbs), peeled, seeded, and cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss the cubed butternut and acorn squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the squash in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly caramelized.
While the squash is roasting, in a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and melted butter.
Remove the squash from the oven and transfer it to a casserole dish.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the squash.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
You can use any variety of winter squash you prefer.
For a sweeter casserole, add a tablespoon of maple syrup to the squash before roasting.
This casserole can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
