Ingredients

  • 1 (~⅔ lb.) delicata squash
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp garlic powder
  • ⅛ tsp freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Cut the ends off the delicata squash, then slice it open length-wise. (If you place it on a cutting board with one of its cut off ends at the base, it's easy to slice it open, lengthwise, from the top.)
  • Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds, then slice the squash into ½-inch wide slices.
  • Add the squash slices to a bowl, and mix in the oil, salt, garlic powder, and pepper to fully coat the squash slices.
  • Place the sliced squash on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure it is spread out over the baking sheet in an even layer.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, flip the squash pieces over. Roast for an additional 10-15* minutes, or until browned to your liking.
  • Taste the squash and adjust the salt or pepper to your liking. Serve warm.

Notes

*Cooking time may vary depending on the size of your squash.
