Cheesy Bacon Butternut Squash
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Yield: 6 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds butternut squash (peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons chopped thyme
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 pound bacon (chopped)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. In a large ovenproof skillet or baking dish, toss the butternut squash with olive oil, garlic, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, then scatter the chopped bacon on top.
- Bake in the oven until the squash is tender and the bacon is cooked through, which usually takes about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Once the squash is cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan on top. Pop it back into the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is nice and melty.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the skillet warm. Get ready for some serious flavor!
