Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the delicata squash thoroughly to remove any dirt or residue from the skin.
Cut each squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and stringy insides with a spoon.
Slice the cleaned squash halves into 1/4-inch half-moon slices.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced squash, olive oil, kosher salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
Toss the squash slices in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the seasoned squash slices in a single layer on the sheet.
Roast the squash in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time, until they are tender and lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on their own for a healthy snack.
