Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Red Kuri Squash
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 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 thoroughly. Since the skin is edible and softens when cooked, peeling is optional.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds and stringy insides with a spoon.
Slice the squash into 1-inch thick wedges for even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined to form a seasoning mixture.
Add the squash wedges to the bowl and toss until each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned squash on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are in a single layer for consistent roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until the squash is tender and edges are caramelized.
Remove the roasted squash from the oven and sprinkle with fresh thyme before serving.
Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy as a side dish or a stand-alone meal.
