Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium delicata squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the delicata squash thoroughly. Cut off the ends, then cut the squash in half lengthwise.
Scoop out the seeds and pulp from each half using a spoon.
Slice the squash halves into 1/2-inch thick half-moons.
Place the squash slices in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme, and dried oregano.
Toss the squash slices gently to coat them evenly with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the squash slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the squash is tender and golden brown on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve warm as a side dish or atop a salad for a delightful low-carb meal.
