Description
Delicata squash is one of my favorite winter squashes because of it's neutral flavor and buttery-smooth texture when roasted. Plus, its thin skin is completely edible! That means no peeling and way less prep time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 delicata squash
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp fine salt
- 1/16-1/8 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425˚F.
- Remove the seeds. Chop the ends off the squash but do not peel. Slice into 1/2-inch thick rings and scrape out the seeds with a spoon.
- Arrange the squash in a 12-inch cast iron skillet. One squash should fit perfectly, but if not slice a couple of the rings in half to make more space.
- Coat the squash with oil and maple syrup (using hands or a silicone brush). Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange in an even layer.
- Roast 20 minutes, flip, then roast 10 minutes more.
- Serve immediately as is, or garnish with vegan goat cheese, pomegranate seeds and fresh parsley.
