No need to peel this squash! This easy roasted delicata squash comes out sweet and tender every time. Here’s exactly how to cook it.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds delicata squash (2 medium to large)*
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  2. Wash the squash. Cut it in half lengthwise, then use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Cut each half into 1/2-inch half-moon shaped slices.
  3. Place the slices in a bowl. Mix with the olive oil, kosher salt, and plenty of fresh ground black pepper.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the squash on the sheet in a single layer.
  5. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes until tender and slightly browned. Eat immediately. (Store leftovers refrigerated and reheat in a 400 degree oven.)
