Ingredients
  

  • 2 delicata squash
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Wash the delicata squash and pat them dry. Slice each squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Cut the squash into half-inch thick slices.
  • In a bowl, toss the delicata squash slices with olive oil, ensuring they are well coated. Season with salt and any additional optional seasonings you desire, such as black pepper, garlic powder, or herbs. Toss again to evenly distribute the seasonings. Arrange the seasoned squash slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and golden brown around the edges. Flip the slices halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
  • Once roasted, remove the delicata squash from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Serve the roasted delicata squash as a delicious side dish or incorporate them into other recipes like salads or grain bowls.

Notes

TO STORE: Allow the roasted delicata squash to cool completely at room temperature before storing. Transfer the leftovers to an airtight container or a sealable bag. Refrigerate and consume it within 3-4 days for the best quality and flavor.
TO REHEAT: When ready to consume the refrigerated roasted delicata squash, reheat it gently in the oven or microwave until heated through. Toss gently before serving.
