Directions
1. To make the butternut parmesan: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220ºC). Cut the butternut squash horizontally and reserve the round bottom part for another recipe. Peel the elongated part of the butternut and cut into thick slices.
2. Arrange butternut slices in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and brush both sides with oil. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Roast, flipping once, until butternut is tender and golden, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and top each butternut steak with marinara sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella and half of Parmesan.
4. Switch your oven to broil and broil butternut squash until cheese is bubbly and golden in spots, about 3 minutes. Serve the butternut parmesan with remaining Parmesan, thyme leaves, and red pepper flakes. Enjoy!
