Gratinated Butternut Squash Tian

Gratinated Butternut Squash Tian is a flavorful and visually appealing dish that layers thinly sliced butternut squash with a variety of complementary ingredients, baked to a golden perfection. The term "tian" refers to both the shallow earthenware dish used for baking and the Provencal-style layered vegetable dish itself. In this version, the butternut squash is often combined with ingredients such as onions, garlic, tomatoes, and sometimes other root vegetables or herbs like thyme and rosemary.
These layers are arranged in a baking dish, often with a sprinkle of cheese such as Parmesan or Gruyère, and a drizzle of olive oil. The dish is baked until the vegetables are tender and the top is beautifully gratinated, resulting in a crispy, cheesy crust. Gratinated Butternut Squash Tian is a delightful and nutritious side dish or main course, perfect for showcasing the natural sweetness and flavor of butternut squash.
