- 2 pounds butternut squash peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 2 tablespoons chopped thyme
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 pound bacon chopped
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. In a large ovenproof skillet or baking dish, toss the butternut squash with olive oil, garlic, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, then scatter the chopped bacon on top.
