15 min | 55 min | 4 |
1/4 cup whole | Almonds, raw (for parmesan) |
1 tsp | Extra virgin olive oil (for parmesan) |
1 tbsp | Nutritional yeast (for parmesan) |
1/4 cup | Pecans (for parmesan) |
1 dash | Sea salt, fine (for parmesan) |
1 kg | Butternut squash |
1/2 tbsp | Extra virgin olive oil |
2 clove(s) | Garlic (minced) |
1 cup | Kale (de-stemmed, roughly chopped) |
3 tbsp | Parsley, fresh (chopped) |
1/2 tsp | Sea salt, fine |
1. Preheat oven to 400F and lightly grease a casserole dish with oil.
2. Peel the squash. Thinly slice off the bottom and top and then slice through the middle lengthwise to make two halves. Remove seeds and guts with a grapefruit spoon or ice cream scoop. Chop two halves into 1-inch chunks and place into casserole dish.
3. Add minced garlic, parsley, oil, and salt into casserole dish and stir until well combined with the squash. Do not add the kale yet.
4. Cover casserole dish with a lid (or tin foil with a few holes poked) and bake at 400F for about 45 minutes.
5. 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. Use a mini processor for minimal clean up.
6. 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 they burn.
Remove, serve and enjoy!
