Not Your Average Squash Recipe

I feel bad I haven't posted anything in quite a while. I have been really busy with life these last two months. But I'm still cooking. This was tonight's creation. 
It accompanied scrumptious pork chops!
I'll post both recipes here. 
     This is a great recipe for people who don't like squash. My pickiest eater isn't crazy about squash, he gobbled these up and asked for more. He was sad when we ran out! 
I wish I would have taken a picture, but I didn't. So you'll just have to trust me on this one. 

Scrumptious Butternut Squash
Feeds about 5-6 people 

1 large butternut squash

     Peeled and diced

 Olive oil drizzle 1-2Tablespoons 

1/2 cup parmigiano reggiano

1T chili powder

1T Montreal steak seasoning

Lots of garlic and onion powder (probably a teaspoon or 2 idk)

I placed every ing in a bowl to throughtly coat the squash. You could just as easily season on the pan. 

Spread evenly on a baking sheet and bake at 525 

We have a gas oven so I broiled the pork chops and put this pan on the bottom rack at the same time. 

Whether you have gas or electric, it's totally doable. I love multitasking oven made dishes. 

You might want to pop these in  5  mins earlier if you have an electric broiler.
