Step 1
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.

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Stir to mix the ingredients together evenly.

Spread the seasoned squash in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
