Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small red kuri squash (potimarron)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- A few sprigs of fresh thyme
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F), preferably with fan assist.
- Wash and dry the red kuri squash thoroughly to remove any dirt.
- Cut the squash in half with a sharp knife. Scoop out the seeds and stringy flesh with a spoon.
- Slice the squash into even pieces, about 1.5-2 cm thick. No need to peel, the skin becomes tender after roasting.
- Prepare the glaze: In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, and fresh thyme.
- Add the squash slices to the bowl and toss well to coat each piece thoroughly.
- Arrange the slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, making sure they don’t overlap.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Roast for about 30 minutes, turning the pieces halfway through, until the squash is golden and tender.
- Serve hot, garnished with extra fresh thyme if desired.
