Ingredients
- 1 medium/large delicata squash (about 1 ½ lb)
- 2 tablespoon pure maple syrup, divided
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 ½ tablespoon fresh herbs, chopped (rosemary, thyme, and/or sage)
- ¼ teaspoon table salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- flaked sea salt (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Cut the stem off the top of the squash.
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds with a spoon and discard.
- Place the squash, cut side down, on a cutting board. Cut the squash into ½" thick crescent-shaped pieces.
- Place the pieces of squash into a large bowl.
- Drizzle olive oil and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup over the squash. Sprinkle herbs, salt, and pepper over the squash.
- Toss to coat the squash. Arrange the squash on the sheet pan in a single layer. Drizzle any liquid left in the bowl over the squash.
- Roast for 20 minutes. Flip the squash and return to the oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the squash is golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of maple syrup over the squash. Sprinkle with flaked salt, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes
- You can toss the squash with a little brown sugar before you roast it if you don't have maple syrup.
- You can substitute the olive oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- I like to use a variety of herbs for this recipe. You can use all 3 that I use (rosemary, thyme, and sage) or just 2 or 1! You can also use dried herbs in a pinch.
- Delicata squash is easier to cut than other squashes. However, you should still use caution when cutting them. Cut the stem end off the squash to make a flat surface to balance the squash on the cutting board and keep your fingers out of the way of the knife!
