Method
 

How to Make Parmesan Herb Roasted Acorn Squash
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This temperature will help achieve that wonderfully crispy, golden crust on your squash.
  2. Trim both ends off the acorn squash, slice it in half, and scoop out the seeds.
  3. Cut each half into 1-inch thick slices.
  4. Combine the acorn squash slices with olive oil, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, basil, thyme, and oregano in a large mixing bowl, and toss until well-coated.
  5. Arrange the squash slices on a parchment-lined baking tray; sprinkle any remaining herb mixture on top.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the slices are soft and slightly golden.
  7. Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy warm.
