A delightful baked dish featuring squash, herbs, and cheese, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even cooking.
Peel and slice the butternut squash into thin, even slices.
Uniform slices ensure even cooking and a better texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Dredge the squash slices in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
A light coating is sufficient to add flavor and texture.
Arrange the coated squash slices in a buttered baking dish.
Overlap the slices slightly for a beautiful presentation.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and minced garlic evenly over the squash.
Distribute the toppings evenly for consistent flavor.
Drizzle the olive oil over the top and bake for 30-40 minutes until golden and tender.
Check for doneness by piercing the squash with a fork.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious squash bake.
Garnish with fresh herbs for added color and flavor.
