Roasted delicata squash is the perfect fall side dish. With a drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkling of fresh herbs, it’s bursting with sweet and savory flavors. While roasting, the sweet delicata squash turns into tender, golden slices with beautifully caramelized edges.
Easy Side Dish: This roasted delicata squash recipe is super easy to make and comes together in a few steps. The best part about cooking delicata squash is not removing the skin! The delicate skin is totally edible and delicious.
Simple Ingredients: This dish has only a few simple ingredients: squash, olive oil, maple syrup, fresh herbs, and simple seasonings. I love turning my garden harvests into flavorful dishes like this one and my roasted beet salad.
Sweet and Savory: The sweet flavor of the squash is highlighted by a drizzle of maple syrup while the fresh herbs balance the dish with savory flavors. If you love the flavor of maple syrup and fresh herbs together, you’ll love my maple venison breakfast sausage.
Delicata squash is one of my favorite winter squashes. It has a nutty flavor with edible skin and tender flesh. It’s perfect for roasting because you don’t have to peel it! Delicata means delicate in Italian.
There are several varieties of delicata squash that all look and taste a little different, but they all have edible skin. Some are more rounded than others, some have orange stripes instead of green stripes, and they also vary in size. I like to grow delicata squash in my garden but you can also find it at farmer’s markets and grocery stores.
