Description
These Roasted Winter Squash Wedges are golden, tender, and seasoned with herbs and spices for the perfect fall side dish. Simple, wholesome, and naturally sweet they pair beautifully with any main course or holiday spread.
Ingredients
1 medium winter squash (such as kabocha, acorn, or delicata)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
1 tsp paprika or smoked paprika (optional for extra flavor)
1 tsp fresh or dried rosemary or thyme (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Wash and cut the squash in half. Scoop out the seeds and stringy bits. Slice into 1-inch thick wedges.
3. In a large bowl, toss the squash wedges with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder, paprika, and herbs until evenly coated.
4. Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Roast for 25–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wedges are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
6. Serve warm as a side dish for fall dinners, holiday meals, or alongside roasted meats and grains.
Notes
Tips:
– For crispier edges, roast the wedges directly on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
– Drizzle with a touch of honey or maple syrup for a caramelized finish.
– Works beautifully with any winter squash variety — experiment with kabocha, acorn, or delicata.
