Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 medium delicata squash, sliced into ½-inch rings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting the squash to a tender, caramelized finish.
  2. Prepare Squash: Slice the delicata squash into ½-inch rings, leaving the skin on as it becomes tender and edible when roasted.
  3. Toss with Seasoning: In a large bowl, toss the squash rings with olive oil, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper until each piece is evenly coated for maximum flavor and browning.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned squash rings out in a single, even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to ensure even roasting and prevent sticking.
  5. Roast Squash: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping the rings halfway through the cooking time to achieve a golden, caramelized surface on both sides.
  6. Serve: Once tender and golden brown, remove the squash from the oven and serve warm or at room temperature as a beautiful, flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • Delicata squash skin is edible and softens when roasted, so peeling is not necessary.
  • For crispier edges, make sure the squash rings are spread in a single layer without overlapping.
  • Roasted delicata squash can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F (175°C) to restore crispness before serving.
  • You can substitute fresh thyme with dried thyme at half the quantity.
