Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ½ to 4 pounds butternut squash halved and seeded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • ¾ cup Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 green onion sliced
  • ¼ cup toasted pecans or walnuts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.
  • Place squash halves on the pan. Brush or mist with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Turn flesh-side down and poke the skin with a fork.
  • Roast for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, until the squash is very soft.
  • Switch the oven to broil. Scoop the squash flesh into a bowl, leaving a ½-inch border inside the shells.

  • Spoon the mixture back into the squash shells and broil 1–2 minutes, until lightly browned.
  • Sprinkle with scallions and toasted nuts before serving.
