A hearty and comforting winter squash casserole perfect for fall and winter meals. This recipe uses butternut or acorn squash for a delicious and satisfying dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds butternut or acorn squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Toss the cubed squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast the squash for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
  4. While the squash is roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook, stirring, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is slightly thickened.
  7. In a medium bowl, combine the roasted squash, onion mixture, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  8. Transfer the mixture to a greased 8×8 inch baking dish.
  9. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the squash mixture.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Notes

  • You can use a mix of butternut and acorn squash for added flavor and texture.
  • For a vegetarian option, ensure your Parmesan cheese is vegetarian.
  • Feel free to add other seasonings like nutmeg or sage to the squash mixture.
