Equipment
- knife

Ingredients
- delicata squash
Method
- Use a soft bristled brush with warm water and give it a good scrub (as skin will be consumed). After drying, place your squash on a flat, stable surface and slice off the top and bottom. Stand the squash up on one of the flat ends and carefully, slowly slice down the center so you have two long halves. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds.
- Once you have your two halves, place them flesh side down on a cutting board and slice crosswise into 1″ thick half moons.
- Next, place your squash slices in a bowl. Drizzle with oil of choice and salt and pepper. Other seasonings can be used, but delicata has a very sweet, flavorful taste of its own. Once you have an even light coat of olive oil and salt and pepper it is time to roast! Spread in an even layer on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake at 450 for 25-30 minutes.
