Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole delicata squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the delicata squash thoroughly, as the skin is edible. Pat dry with a towel.
Slice each squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
Cut the squash halves into 1/2-inch thick wedges.
In a large bowl, drizzle the squash wedges with olive oil. Add kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss to coat evenly.
Spread the seasoned squash wedges out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking, until they are tender and lightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Optional: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or snack!
