Delicata is one of the easiest-to prepare winter squashes because of its “delicate” rind that's tender when cooked a doesn’t require peeling. Use an apple corer to remove the seeds with ease, and roast sliced in colorful rings or wedges. This may become your new favorite winter squash recipe.
Ingredients
- 3 medium delicata squash, about 6 or 7 inches long
- 2 red onions, peeled & cut into wedges
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ¼ cup fresh sage leaves
- ¼ cup toasted pumpkin seeds
- ½ cup pomegranate seeds
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°. Cut the ends off each squash. Using an apple corer, remove seeds and pulp from inside of squash. Cut squash into ó-inch thick rings.
Place squash rings and onion wedges in a large bowl. Add garlic, olive oil, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Spread vegetables on two large rimmed baking sheets. Sprinkle with sage leaves.
Roast for about 12 minutes, then flip squash rings using a spatula. Roast for another 12 or 13 minutes, until squash is browned and very tender.
Transfer vegetables to a serving platter. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and pomegranate seeds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
