Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (about 2 lbs) potimarron squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 garlic cloves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the potimarron thoroughly and cut it in half. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and slice the rest into 1-inch thick wedges. You can leave the skin on as it becomes tender and adds texture when roasted.
Place the potimarron wedges on a large baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potimarron wedges and toss them to coat evenly.
Season the wedges with sea salt, cracked black pepper, ground nutmeg, and fresh thyme.
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly. Scatter the garlic slices over the potimarron.
Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potimarron is tender and lightly caramelized around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the roasted potimarron warm, garnished with additional fresh thyme if desired.
