Serves: 6-8

Ingredients
  • 1 lg. acorn squash (about 1 lb.)
  • ½ tbsp. butter
  • 4 tsp. grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1½ tbsp. dry bread crumbs

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400˚F. Coat a baking sheet or jelly roll pan with cooking spray.
  2. Cut the squash in half crosswise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
  3. Slice the squash into rounds ¼” thick and arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake slices for 8 minutes, turn and bake 8 minutes longer. Remove from oven and let cool.
  4. Melt the butter in a small skillet or saucepan.
  5. In a pie pan or on a sheet of wax paper, mix together the cheese and bread crumbs.
  6. When the squash is cool enough to handle, press both sides into the cheese-bread crumb mixture. Return to the baking sheet.
  7. Drizzle the butter over the slices. Bake for 10 minutes or until squash is tender and golden brown.
