Ingredients

  • 2 large delicata squash (about 2lbs)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, ghee, or olive oil (melted)
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper (season to liking)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Grab a large baking sheet and set aside.
  • Prepare the squash. Using a sharp knife, slice the squash in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and the stringy flesh.
  • Slice the squash. Cut the squash halves into half moons, about 1-inch thick slices. Spread the squash slices evenly on the baking sheet.
  • Coat the squash. Using a pastry brush, coat both sides of the squash with melted butter or oil. Season the top of the slices with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Roast. Place the baking tray in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the squash is golden and tender.

Notes

  • Storage & Reheating: Leftovers will keep, stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
