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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Place the squash halves skin-side down on a cutting board. Cut the squash into evenly sized wedges about 1-inch thick.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh thyme. Mix well to create a seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Add the squash wedges into the bowl and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 6
Arrange the seasoned squash wedges on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring none of the pieces overlap for even roasting.
Step 7
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully flip each wedge over using a spatula.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Remove the squash from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh thyme before serving.
