👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    In a bowl, toss the vegetables with the olive oil, date syrup, garlic, paprika, cumin, hot paprika, salt and black pepper.
    Bowl
  3. 3
    Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer, without crowding.
    Baking pan
  4. 4
    Place the thyme sprigs on top.
  5. 5
    Roast the vegetables in a hot oven (200°C / 390°F) 30–35 minutes, until the squash is tender and caramelized at the edges.
