Going beyond the brown sugar with this Herb-Roasted Parmesan Acorn Squash recipe. The perfect side-dish that's made with just 5 ingredients.

Herb Roasted Parmesan Acorn Squash

acorn squash (or 2 small)

⅓ cup shredded parmesan cheese +

herbs

Tbsp. ghee or butter, melted

½ tsp. garlic powder

black pepper

Cut acorn squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Then slice each half into ½-inch thick slices.

In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and toss to combine.

Transfer to a large sheet pan. Using your hands, gently press parmesan cheese onto the squash for maximum coverage.

Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until squash is cooked through and parmesan cheese is crispy and slightly browned. Garnish with additional parmesan cheese and herbs, if desired.

I have tons of Buttercup squash, could I use that for this Recipe?

This was absolutely amazing.  I didn't have any ghee, so I melted down some extra-virgin coconut oil.  It was fantastic.  This was my first time making acorn squash.  I was overwhelmed by all the butter and brown sugar recipes, so I was happy to find this.  I will definitely make it again.

I've never had acorn squash. Perfect, easy, and delisious!

Popping it in the oven now!
Hi from the Western Suburbs of the twin cities!

This is a great recipe, thank you! I used olive oil instead of the ghee and is was delicious, even my 2 year old loved it.

This was delicious. I had my squash cubed. Love that there was no sugar!

Made these tonight for a side with dinner. It was so yummy!!! Melted in your mouth. Thank you for this! Definitely will make again.

This Acorn Squash recipe 😱incredible, it’s my favorite squash recipe so far. I’m on Weight Watchers so I used olive oil spray in place of ghee. Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I was skeptical--how can such a small amount of parmesan/herbs do much at all?  But it is perfect!  Even my husband really likes it.  Tastes  like a decadent authentic Italian feast dish!

These are delicious!!! I prefer it this way instead of sweetened with sugar and feel it has to be healthier! Outstanding

Made your squash this evening and it was fabulous; however, I wonder whether the instructions should read "Melt the butter and dip the squash pieces in it and then in the remaining ingredients which have been mixed together, pushing them into the cheese and herb mixture."

When I mixed the cheese and herbs with the melted butter I got a paste that I had to spread individually on each piece of squash which was messy and time consuming. If I had read the comments first I would have seen that someone else had the same comment.   

We did enjoy the flavor mixture and I'll be making it again with those ingredients, but a different process.  Thanks for your time.

Made this tonight and had sautéed garlic scallops with the squash and my wife had toasted raviolis with her squash.    They both paired great.   Looking forward to making the squash again and will try it with other proteins.

I’ve been craving acorn squash but I never buy it as my husband doesn’t like squash. Trying to eat more vegetables so looking for ways to make them more appealing. This recipe fit the bill, my husband said it’s a keeper! I used butter and Italian seasoning. Another converted squash hater! Delicious!!!

So glad I stumbled upon this easy and delicious recipe! It was a hit with my family as well! My mom is on the Optavia diet, so I did sub olive oil for the butter, but still turned out delicious. We also ran out of room on the pan in the over, soooo, I decided to give some pieces a try in the air fryer. 10-12 minutes at 400 degrees and you definitely got more fried crunch to the cheese, and just as tender as the oven. Just in case anyone was wondering! We will definitely be making this again - thank you!

Hi! I just google searched acorn squash recipes and clicked on your Parmesan herb recipe; am excited to try it this evening! And then I saw that you’re in Boulder and so am I! In fact, I cycled across Violet St. this morning. How fun to discover you! Thank you for the Whole 30 ebook and squash recipe!

Nothing to say! It's awesome. It did work too, the taste I think is so great, Thank you much for the recipe!

I have never tried a delicata squash before, but now I really want to. I have squash on my list for this week, I think I need to switch up the kind now!

These look so good! What a great plant based appetizer to bring to a get together!

Love the recipe. Spread a bit of room temperature unsalted butter on the squash to help the cheeses stick.  Also added a bit of nature’s seasoned salt to the cheese mixture.  The cheese mixture is so good it would be great n bread potatoes spaghetti or whatever you can think of.

Tried it with thyme and rosemary. We made the other1/2 of the squash with the traditional butter, maple syrup and brown sugar. It was like two completely different side dishes from one squash.  This is an excellent easy to make recipe.

Hi, I love using your recipes!!! They are amazing and so easy to do. I’m currently doing my first WHOLE30 and dairy is not allowed. Can I substitute the Parmesan with nutritional yeast?

Just made these and they are absolutely delicious. Love this recipe and will introduce it to the family at Thanksgiving.

This was Amazing!!! I added a tablespoon of raw brown cane sugar and extra Himalayan sea salt and a bit of olive oil. It was GRAND!! ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks!!

I used olive oil instead of butter or ghee and it was fine and tasty. I think it took 35 min in the oven, but that can be my oven’s fault

Delicious way to make the beloved acorn squash. And so much more interesting than butter and brown sugar, Thank you!

I made this for a Friendsgiving side dish and it was finished clean! Everyone loved it. I used fresh sage and thyme, and dried oregano. Definitely doing this combo (parm and herbs) for other veggies moving forward!
