Ingredients

• 1 medium Red Kuri Squash
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and dry the Red Kuri squash. Cut it in half and remove the seeds using a spoon.

Step 3

Cut the squash into 1-inch wedges or cubes, depending on your preference.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 5

Add the squash pieces to the bowl and toss until they are well coated with the spice mixture.

Step 6

Spread the squash pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 35-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly browned, flipping the pieces halfway through to ensure even roasting.

Step 8

Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh thyme.

Step 9

Allow the roasted squash to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or as a healthy snack.
