Delicata squash is so sweet, tender, and delicious. Roasting it is the best way to prepare it because it intensifies the flavor and makes the skin soft and edible. 

 

Yield 4 servings

 

2 delicata squash, cut in half lengthwise and seeds removed

2 fresh sage leaves, chopped

2 Tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper

1 Tbsp pure maple syrup

 

Preheat oven to 375℉

 

Slice the squash into ½-inch half moons and place them on a baking sheet.

Sprinkle the sage on the squash, drizzle the oil over the top, and season with salt and pepper. Using a large spoon or your hands, toss the squash and sage until it is coated with the oil. 

 

Place the squash in the oven and bake for 30 - 35 minutes until tender and golden brown. Stirring halfway through. 

 

Transfer the squash to a serving plate or bowl and drizzle with the maple syrup. 

 

Just Salt It, and enjoy!
