- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Peel the squash, cut it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
Step 3
Slice the squash into 1/2-inch thick slices and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the sliced squash, and then sprinkle with garlic powder, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and salt.
Step 5
Toss everything in the bowl together until the squash is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Step 6
Arrange the coated squash slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through baking to ensure even cooking. The squash should be tender and slightly browned around the edges when done.

Transfer the baked squash to a serving platter and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
