Roasted butternut squash wedges crusted in parmesan, panko, lemon zest and herbs with a dill sour cream sauce.
The parmesan panko mixture forms a salty, crunchy coating that is delicious with the mildly sweet squash. With lemon zest for a burst of brightness and a trio of herbs for freshness including parsley, thyme and dill.
The real fun happens when the sour cream sauce shows up to the party. The dill ties all the flavors together and brings the entire thing to life. I was skeptical when I first saw the recipe and thought of skipping the sauce. I’m glad I didn’t. The sauce makes it. You don’t dare skip it. The squash will miss it.
If I told you how many squash have entered my kitchen the past few weeks . . . well, you probably wouldn’t believe me. You might ask yourself how could that be possible? Well, I am buying them left and right like a girl obsessed then eating them up like I will never, ever see another one again during my entire lifetime.
I can’t get enough.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
- Cut the squash into 1/3-inch thick slices and spread them out on the baking sheet. (For easier cutting I microwave mine for 2-3 minutes to soften the skin and then allow it to cool).
- In a small bowl mix together the Parmesan, panko, parsley, thyme, half the lemon zest, garlic and a couple pinches of salt and pepper.
- Brush olive oil generously over the squash and sprinkle with the bread crumb mixture patting it on gently with your hands.
- Roast 25-30 minutes until squash is fork tender.
- Meanwhile in a small bowl mix the sour cream with the dill and salt and pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle the squash with the remaining lemon zest and serve with the sour cream sauce.
