Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium delicata squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash the delicata squash thoroughly under running water. Cut off both ends of each squash.
Slice the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
Cut each half into 1/2-inch thick crescent-shaped slices.
Place the squash slices in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
Add garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Toss the squash slices until they are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Arrange the squash slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the squash is tender and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
