Delicious Roasted Delicata Squash Recipe for Your Table

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 medium Delicata squash (sliced lengthwise)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for roasting)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even roasting.
  2. Prepare the Squash

    Slice the delicata squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.

    Use a sharp knife to avoid slipping.
  3. Season the Squash

    Drizzle the olive oil over the squash halves and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

    Make sure to coat evenly for the best flavor.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  5. Roast the Squash

    Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until tender.

    Check for doneness with a fork; it should pierce easily.
  6. Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.

    Great as a side dish or main course.
