Ingredients
- 2 medium Delicata squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the delicata squashes thoroughly. Cut off the ends, then slice each squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out and discard the seeds and fibrous strands using a spoon.
Step 3
Slice the squash halves into 1/2-inch thick half-moons for uniform cooking.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, ground cinnamon, and garlic powder. Add the squash slices to the bowl and toss until all pieces are well-coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Arrange the seasoned squash slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure none of the pieces overlap.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, then flip the slices and continue roasting for an additional 10 minutes, or until the squash is tender and golden brown around the edges.
Step 7
Remove the squash from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Step 8
Serve the roasted delicata squash as a side dish alongside your favorite main course or enjoy as a healthy snack.
