Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 2 lbs) Red kuri squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Thoroughly wash the red kuri squash under running water to remove any dirt. Pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a sharp chef's knife, carefully cut the squash in half from top to bottom. Scoop out the seeds and stringy bits from the center using a spoon.
Cut the squash halves into 1-inch wedges, leaving the skin on (the skin is edible and will soften up during roasting).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to form a seasoned oil mixture.
Add the squash wedges to the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the seasoned oil until evenly coated.
Arrange the seasoned squash wedges in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the squash for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and golden brown.
Once done, remove the squash from the oven. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve the roasted red kuri squash as a side dish with your favorite main course.
