- 1 cup grated vegan cheese
- 3 Tbsps toasted Pine nuts
Preparation steps
1.
Heat the oven to 375°F.

Cut the squash in half, scrape out the seeds, and brush with olive oil. Place cut side down on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 35 minutes.
3.
Add the asparagus to the tray and tuck the glove of garlic underneath one of the squash halves. Return to the oven and cook for a further 10 minutes, until the asparagus and squash are tender.
