Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Cut the squash into 3/4-inch cubes and arrange in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Drizzle the squash with the olive oil. Sprinkle with the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Use a rubber spatula to toss the squash until it is evenly coated in the oil.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Squash Cutting Technique 🔪Use a sturdy chef's knife and stabilize the butternut squash by cutting off the top and bottom first, creating a flat surface for safer, more precise cutting.
- Parmesan Coating Trick 🧀Grate the Parmesan fresh and mix it with the dried thyme before coating the squash to ensure even distribution and maximum flavor infusion.
- Roasting Pan Optimization 🥣Use a rimmed baking sheet and spread squash pieces in a single layer with space between them to ensure crispy edges and even caramelization.
- Oil Distribution Hack 💦Toss the squash cubes in grapeseed oil in a large bowl before seasoning to guarantee each piece is evenly coated and will roast perfectly.
- Fresh Thyme Finishing Touch 🌿Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the roasted squash just before serving to add a bright, aromatic finish that elevates the entire dish.
