Roasted Delicata Squash Recipe with Parmesan
Description
This recipe begins by slicing delicata squash in half lengthwise, scooping out seeds, then cutting the halves into quarter-inch thick half-moon slices. The slices are coated with olive oil, crushed garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper to season evenly. A herb mixture of fresh thyme, parsley, and lemon zest is sprinkled over the slices along with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Baking the squash at 425°F on parchment-lined sheets allows the slices to soften while developing slight browning and caramelized edges, enhancing their texture and flavor. The Parmesan creates a subtle savory crust that melds with the squash's natural sweetness.
This side dish complements a variety of main courses and offers a balanced combination of acidity, herbs, and cheese. The recipe’s straightforward preparation and focused ingredient list allow the delicata squash’s distinct texture and flavor to shine. No notes on make-ahead or storage are included.
