Ingredients

• 1 large (about 2-3 lbs) marrow squash
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easier cleanup.

Step 2

Wash the marrow squash thoroughly under running water and pat it dry with a clean towel.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and fibrous material with a spoon.

Step 4

Lay the squash halves flat on a cutting board, then slice each half into thick wedges, about 1-1.5 inches wide.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Place the squash wedges in a large mixing bowl, drizzle the honey-oil mixture over them, and toss until all the wedges are evenly coated.

Step 7

Arrange the coated wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even roasting.

Step 8

Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time, until the squash is tender and edges are caramelized.

Step 9

Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the squash cool slightly.

Step 10

Optionally, garnish with fresh thyme before serving to add a pop of color and a subtle earthy flavor. Serve warm as a side dish or snack.
