Roasted Delicata Squash

About This Recipe

Just 3 ingredients to make the best roasted delicata squash. Easy to make and ready in 35 minutes, it makes for an easy fall side dish perfect for the holidays or a weeknight meal. Vegan, paleo, and Whole30.

Ingredients

• 3 small-medium delicata squash ((800 grams after cut))
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 1-2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Prep your squash. First, wash/rinse your delicata squash. You will be eating the skin so we want to make sure any dirt is rinsed off. Cut off both ends. Slice your delicata squash in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds. Place squash cut side down, and cut into 1/2-inch thick pieces, making half-moon shapes. Try to cut in uniform pieces to allow for even cooking.
3. Roast. Toss the delicata squash with oil, cinnamon, salt, and pepper and mix well to combine. I like to do this on the baking sheet to save dirtying another dish. Spread them out evenly on the baking sheets and bake for 25-30 minutes or until fork-tender, flipping the squash once after 15 minutes.
4. Enjoy!
