Roasted Delicata Squash

Roasted Delicata Squash

Well, I suppose it is getting about that time of year again, because my grocery store is starting to fill the produce aisles with all of those strange pumpkin/squash things!  So this time I picked up a couple of delicata squash!  They are kind of like butternut squash taste-wise; however, the skins are edible.  With that said, I found the skins a little bitter, so I just scooped the meaty part out as I was eating it. Also, this is a rich side dish, so enjoy sparingly with a good piece of ham and some greens!

  • • 2 small-medium delicata squash

  2. In a small saucepan on low heat, warm butter and maple syrup until blended. Set aside.
  3. Cut the ends off of the squash. Cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and set them aside for roasting later (optionals). Cut into chunks.
