Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized Red Kuri squash
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the Red Kuri squash in half and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and any stringy bits.
Slice the squash into wedges, approximately 1-inch thick, leaving the skin on for additional flavor and texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and fresh thyme. Toss the squash wedges in the mixture until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the seasoned squash wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes or until the wedges are tender and golden brown, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish, or enjoy on its own as a healthy snack.
