Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Red Kuri Squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Carefully cut the Red Kuri Squash in half using a sharp knife. Scoop out and discard the seeds and any stringy bits from the center.
Place the squash halves skin-side down on a cutting board. Cut the squash into evenly sized wedges about 1-inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh thyme. Mix well to create a seasoning mixture.
Add the squash wedges into the bowl and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the seasoned squash wedges on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring none of the pieces overlap for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully flip each wedge over using a spatula.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes or until the squash is tender and has a golden brown edge.
Remove the squash from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh thyme before serving.
