Favorite Fall Recipe- Garlic Baked Butternut Squash

My cousin Janie shared this recipe with my family a couple years ago, and it has become an absolute favorite.  It is super-easy and very tasty.  Perfect for a fall evening, at Thanksgiving dinner, and even really great for leftovers (there never are any, though )


Garlic Baked Butternut Squash:
-2 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley (dried works fine too)
-2 Tbsp. olive oil
-2 garlic cloves (or 1/8 tsp. garlic powder)
-1 tsp. salt
-1/2 tsp. pepper
-3 1/2 lbs. butternut squash, peeled, and cut into 1″ cubes (Costco has a container pre-cubed and pre-peeled— much easier!)
-1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (can leave off)

Combine parsley, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.  Add squash and toss to coat.  Transfer to shallow 2-qt. baking dish.  Sprinkle on Parmesan cheese if desired

Bake at 400 for 50-55 minutes
