Roasted Delicata Squash with Turmeric

About This Recipe

These are the perfect balance of savory and sweet, and fuss-free because you don’t have to peel the skin of the Delicate squash, so it’s pretty easy to prepare.

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 delicata squash (about 14 oz each, washed and dried)
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• fresh black pepper (to taste)
• chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly spray 2 large nonstick baking sheets with oil.
2. Slice the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Slice the seeded halves into 1/4-inch thick slices (half circles) and place them in a large bowl.
3. Drizzle the olive oil, salt, turmeric, garlic powder and black pepper, tossing toss well to coat. Lay flat on the prepared baking sheets and bake in the center of the oven until golden brown, about 10 to 14 minutes on each side. Remove from oven and top with fresh cilantro and eat right away.
