Roasted Delicata Squash Recipe with Parmesan
Roasted Delicata Squash with Parmesan is a simple side dish featuring tender, thinly sliced delicata squash tossed with olive oil, garlic, herbs, lemon zest, and finished with fresh Parmesan cheese. Baking until golden brings out the squash’s natural sweetness and complements the savory topping, creating a flavorful, slightly crisp vegetable dish.
