Ingredients
2-2.5 lb
butternut squash
2 large
cloves garlic, minced
2-3 TBSP
finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 TBSP
extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp
fine grain sea salt
1 cup
de-stemmed and roughly chopped Lacinato kale
Almond Pecan Parmesan “cheese”:
1/4 cup
almonds
1/4 cup
pecans
1 TBSP
nutritional yeast
1/8 tsp
fine grain sea salt
1 tsp
extra virgin olive oil
Step by Step Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F and lightly grease a casserole dish with oil.
- Peel the squash. Thinly slice off the bottom and top and then slice through the middle lengthwise to make two halves. Remove seeds & guts with a grapefruit spoon or ice cream scoop. Chop two halves into 1-inch chunks and place into casserole dish.
- Add minced garlic, parsley, oil, and salt into casserole dish and stir until well combined with the squash. Do not add the kale yet.
- Cover casserole dish with a lid (or tin foil with a few holes poked) and bake at 400F for about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, process the parmesan ingredients together until chunky (or just chop by hand and mix in a bowl). Make sure to leave lots of nut pieces for texture. I used a mini processor and it worked great with minimal clean up.
- After about 45 mins (or when squash is just fork tender), remove from the oven and reduce heat to 350F. Stir in the chopped kale and sprinkle the parmesan all over the squash. Bake for another 5-8 minutes, until the nuts are lightly toasted. Watch closely so you don’t burn them.
- Remove & serve!
