Roasted Delicata Squash with Burrata, Pomegranate and Pistachios
Description
Roasted Delicata Squash with Burrata, Pomegranate and Pistachios begins by slicing delicata squash into half-inch crescents and seasoning them with olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. The squash is spread on oiled sheet pans and roasted at 425°F, turning halfway through to ensure even softening and caramelization.
The roasted squash develops a tender interior and slightly crisp, golden edges, offering a sweet, mellow flavor enhanced by the seasoning. Once plated, the warm squash is topped with fresh burrata cheese quartered into pieces, roasted chopped pistachios for a nutty crunch, and juicy pomegranate seeds for bursts of tartness. Fresh basil leaves add an herbaceous note that complements the other ingredients.
Serving immediately preserves the contrast between the warm squash and the cool creaminess of burrata. This recipe suits fall or winter menus and pairs well with grain bowls or roasted meats.
