Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the cut sides of the butternut squash with 2 tbsp of olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 35-40 minutes, or until tender.
Sauté the Spinach:
While the squash is roasting, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Stuff the Squash:
Once the squash halves are roasted, flip them cut-side up. Scoop out a small amount of the flesh to create a cavity for the filling. Divide the sautéed spinach evenly between the squash halves. Top each with crumbled feta cheese and bacon bits.
Broil to Perfection:
Sprinkle with dried rosemary or thyme (optional) and return the stuffed squash to the oven. Broil for 3-5 minutes until the feta is golden and slightly melted.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve warm as a main dish or a side, and enjoy the savory, creamy, and crispy flavors.
