Simple Roasted Delicata Squash

This Simple Roasted Delicata Squash recipe is a go-to when you want something seasonal, healthy, and hands-off. With its tender, edible skin and naturally sweet flavor, you don’t need much more than a little oil, salt, and pepper to turn it into a cozy, caramelized side dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 small delicata squash skin on, halved, seeded, and sliced (715g)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil 15g
  • 2 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425.
  • Wash and dry your squash, and carefully cut them in half lengthwise. Using an ice cream scoop, scrape out the seedy middle, and slice each half into thin half-circles. Lay them out on a large sheet pan.
  • Spray squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. (You can add any other spices you love at this point! We love rosemary, thyme, and garlic. Or a chili powder, paprika, garlic combo. But sometimes we just keep them simple!) Roast for 25 minutes or until tender. Enjoy as a side, or even as a side dipped in marinara or a yogurt sauce. We also love these piled onto our salads or even tucked in crunch wraps.
