Roasted Delicata Squash
A delicate, creamy squash that does not have to be peeled. Roast it until nice and brown for a wonderful caramelized flavor.
Ingredients
- 1-2 delicata squash
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F
- Wash the squash under running water until clean. Trim off the ends of the squash to remove the stem and then slice in half length wise. Scoop out the seeds and discard or reserve to roast for snacks.
- Take one half at a time and place on cutting board skin side up. Slice into 1/2-inch half moon pieces and place into a bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the squash and sprinkle with salt and pepper then toss with a spoon to coat.
- Spread out the squash on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer and then roast in the oven for 15 minutes. Turn the squash pieces over and roast for another 15 minutes until nice and golden brown or almost burnt in places. This will create a nice caramelized flavor on the outside, but the inside will remain creamy. Serve warm.
