Ingredients

2 pound 1 medium butternut squash, peeled
½ cup 2% reduced fat milk
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 small shallot (minced)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/3 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
¾ teaspoons kosher salt (divided)
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup whole wheat or gluten-free panko

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Slice butternut squash into 1/4-inch thick slices. You can do this with a knife, I did this with my spiralizer which is much easier, click here for directions.
In a large bowl, combine the milk, garlic, shallot, thyme, ½ of the parmesan, ½ teaspoon salt and pepper. Add the squash and toss to coat. Spray a medium oven-safe casserole dish with cooking spray. Transfer squash mixture to casserole dish and set aside.
In a medium microwave safe bowl, melt butter. Add breadcrumbs, remaining parmesan, ¼ teaspoon salt, and pepper. Evenly spread breadcrumb mixture over squash, cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and broil 2-3 minutes to brown top (watch carefully because it browns quickly!)
