Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Red Kuri Squash
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the Red Kuri squash. Cut it in half and remove the seeds using a spoon.
Cut the squash into 1-inch wedges or cubes, depending on your preference.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the squash pieces to the bowl and toss until they are well coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the squash pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 35-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly browned, flipping the pieces halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh thyme.
Allow the roasted squash to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or as a healthy snack.
