Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Red Kuri Squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the red kuri squash thoroughly and pat it dry with a clean towel.
Cut the squash in half using a sharp knife and scoop out the seeds and stringy bits from the center with a spoon.
Cut the squash into uniformly sized wedges or cubes, about 1-inch thick.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Stir to mix the ingredients together evenly.
Add the squash pieces to the bowl and toss them until they are well-coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned squash in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 35 minutes, or until the squash is fork-tender and nicely caramelized around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it as is for a healthy and flavorful snack.
