contents In this work, we present a cosmological model in which the cosmological constant term is replaced by the Kretschmann scalar at the level of the action. In this way, it becomes possible to implement a model of dynamical dark energy. After constraining the free parameters using observational data from supernovae and cosmic chronometers, we show that the model provides a good fit to the observational data. In particular, we show that, at least at low redshifts, the behavior of the equation-of-state parameter $w(z)$ closely reproduces that obtained in phenomenological models that have been recently studied based on the latest observational data from the DESI collaboration. Likewise, the present model also indicates the occurrence of a phantom-crossing regime.
