Description
Squash makes a simple, healthy, and delicious vegetarian side dish. Most squash skin is edible so prep is quick and easy.
Ingredients
- 1 whole squash or pumpkin, such as Hokkaido or butternut
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 2 Tablespoons honey for drizzling
- greens for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the squash or pumpkin in half and use a spoon to scoop the seeds out. Using a sharp knife, slice into wedges about one-inch thick. Save the seeds to make a tasty roasted snack later.
- Place the wedges into a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to combine well.
- Add the spices, and toss to coat. Use your hands to work the spices into the wedges.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for about 20 minutes, until golden on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Transfer to a serving plate, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with greens, if desired.
