Ingredients
- 2 delicata squash about 2 pounds, medium size
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt to taste, Kosher salt
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup plus extra for serving
- parsley optional, fresh, chopped parsley; for garnish
- pomegranate arils
- feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Set aside.
- Wash the squash with water and dry. With a sharp knife, cut off the ends of the squash. Next, cut the squash in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Cut the squash into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
- Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss with your hands until well coated. Season with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 15 minutes and remove the pan from the oven. With a spatula, flip the squash over. Drizzle the squash evenly with the maple syrup.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for 5 to 10 more minutes, or until the squash is tender and golden. Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. If desired, drizzle with a little extra maple syrup and garnish with parsley and pomegranate arils. Serve immediately.
