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.
Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 62kcal
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.
Notes
Slice your squash into thin, even half circles and spread them out on the pan without overlapping. Crowded squash steams instead of roasting, and you'll miss the caramelized edges. An ice cream scoop is the fastest way to remove the seeds!
