Twice Baked Butternut Squash

In our healthier moments, we try to avoid eating too many sides of mashed potatoes and opt for healthier recipes.  I found this recipe on the CleanFoodCrush blog and was a little skeptical at first.  To my surprise, it was delicious and really satisfies the craving for a creamy twice baked potato.  I have found that this recipe tastes best with small butternut squash as shown in my pic.

Ingredients:
1 small butternut squash, cut in half, seeds removed
Olive oil
Salt, Pepper 
1/4 cup plain greek yogurt (1/2 cup for larger squash)
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoons panko

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 425.
Prepare butternut squash but cutting in half lengthwise and removing all seeds and stingy area.
Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.  
Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until tender.
Remove from oven and cool.  
Scoop out squash from the outer shell into a bowl.  
Mash squash with a fork and mix in yogurt and 1/4 cup of the cheese.  
Scoop mixture back into the shells and top with remaining Parmesan and panko crumbs.
Bake another 10 minutes to set.
