Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Delicata squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash the delicata squash thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut off the ends, then slice the squash in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds from each half.
Place each half cut-side down on the cutting board and slice into 1/4-inch thick half-moons.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, rosemary, thyme, and paprika. Stir well to mix the spices with the oil.
Add the delicata squash slices to the bowl and toss them gently until each piece is evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.
Arrange the coated squash slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a low sodium side dish or a healthy snack!
