Roasted Herbed Squash with Goat Cheese

Cooking is a hobby I'm so happy to share with my toddler. She (and all our Christmas Eve party guests) heartily approved of this new potluck favorite. Any type of winter squash works here. —Lindsay Oberhausen, Lexington, Kentucky

  • Total Time
    Prep: 25 min. Cook: 30 min.
  • Makes
    10 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 medium acorn squash (about 1-1/2 pounds each), peeled and cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 1 large butternut squash (5 to 6 pounds), peeled and cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
  • 1 log (11 ounces) fresh goat cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup, warmed slightly

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 425°. Toss squashes with oil and seasonings. Transfer to 2 foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pans.
  • Roast squash, stirring once, until soft and some pieces are caramelized, 30-35 minutes. Switch position of pans midway through roasting to ensure even doneness. If a darker color is desired, broil 3-4 in. from heat 2-4 minutes.
  • Cool slightly. To serve, add goat cheese to squash; gently toss. Sprinkle with parsley; drizzle with maple syrup.
Editor’s Note: To save time, first cut squash into rings, then peel each ring.

    This is the PERFECT fall side dish. The tin foil makes for an easy clean up, and when they say "gently toss" they do mean gently (else it becomes a bit of a mashed squash dish!). A crowd-pleaser for sure!
