Parmesan Butternut Squash Gratin Recipe

Ingredient

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
• 1 (2 1/2 lb) butternut squash, the ends trimmed, peeled, halved and seeded and then sliced into 1/2-inch thick slices
• 5 Tbsp (70g) salted butter
• 1/2 cup (35g) of ordinary Panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup (42g) fine grated parmesan
• 1/4 tsp dry sage

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 13 by 9-inch pan with cooking spray, then arrange the squash in the pan, slightly overlapping.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then reduce the heat, add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Remove from fire.
3. In a mixing bowl, stir in breadcrumbs, parmesan, thyme, sage, and season a little with salt and pepper. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the garlic butter mixture on top of the panko mixture and stir to mix evenly.
4. Spread the remaining butter and garlic on the pumpkin in a baking sheet, then season the pumpkin with salt and pepper.
5. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly on top. Bake in an oven that has been heated 35 - 40 minutes until tender, then if the topping is not browned, heat it up to 425 and bake 5 minutes longer.
6. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
