Online recipe for delicious and cheesy butternut squash with bacon.
Ingredients You'll Need
1.5 lbs butternut squash cubed into 1 inch pieces
1 tbsp extra light olive oil
¼ tsp Himalayan salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
¼ tsp Dried Oregano
6 oz thick cut bacon, 3 strips
⅓ cup shredded cheese
1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F
Toss the cubed butternut squash with the oil, salt, pepper, and oregano, until all pieces are evenly coated.
Place the coated squash onto a baking tray in an even layer and sprinkle the small strips of bacon over the squash pieces
Bake for 30-40 minutes until the squash is tender and has begun to caramelize
Remove the tray from the oven and top with the shredded cheese and parsley. The residual heat from the tray and the squash will melt the cheese
Serve immediately and bring any leftovers to room temperature before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
