Roasted Delicata Squash
Equipment
- oven
- sheet pan
Ingredients
- 2 delicata squash washed and pat dry
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup for a keto/sugar-free version, use sugar-free maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 2 tablespoon Greek yogurt to drizzle (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh pomegranate seeds optional
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F. If desired, line pan with foil.
- On a cutting board, slice each delicata squash in half lengthwise. Remove seeds using a spoon. Then slice squashes about ½-inch thick.
- Place delicata squash into a large bowl and drizzle the oil on top. Sprinkle on cinnamon, salt and ground black pepper. Using your hands, mix to combine.
- Place onto the sheet pan in a single layer. Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until fork tender. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle on red pepper flakes, and garnish with a drizzle of yogurt, pom seeds, and oregano. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- STORE in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freeze in bags for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat before eating.
- Use real maple syrup if there are no dietary concerns, or a sugar-free maple syrup if you're on a keto or sugar-free diet.
- Red pepper flakes, Greek yogurt, pom seeds, and oregano are optional. But they add extra flavor to the dish!
- If you prefer, mix oil, syrup, and seasonings together right onto the sheet pan and then layer on the sliced squash in a single layer. You'll have one less bowl to wash!
