Ingredients
Scale
- 2 acorn squash (small to medium)
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions
- Prep the squash: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice off the top and bottom of each squash, stand them on a flat end, and slice in half. Scoop out the seeds, then cut each half into 1-inch thick slices.
