Ingredients
- 2 medium (about 1 pound each) Delicata squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon (optional) Fresh thyme
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the delicata squash thoroughly to remove any dirt. Slice off the ends of each squash.
Step 3
Cut the squash in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds.
Step 4
Slice the squash into half-moons, about 1/2-inch thick.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Step 6
Add the sliced squash to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the oil and spice mixture.
Step 7
Spread the squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even roasting.
Step 8
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the squash is tender and golden brown.
Step 9
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh thyme if using. Serve warm.
