Roasted Delicata Squash with Maple and Cinnamon

Roasted Delicata Squash with Maple and Cinnamon offers tender, golden slices of delicata squash infused with a subtle sweetness from pure maple syrup and a warm spice from ground cinnamon. The olive oil helps the squash crisp slightly while roasting at high heat, creating caramelized edges and a soft center.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium delicata squash
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Clean the squash, cut both ends off and slice in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and then cut each half into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  3. Place the squash slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and maple syrup and sprinkle with cinnamon. Toss to coat.
  4. Spread squash slices evenly on prepared baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes. Flip and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and tender.

Notes

  • You can substitute brown sugar for maple syrup or increase maple syrup to two tablespoons for more sweetness.
  • Avocado oil can replace extra virgin olive oil if preferred.
  • Omitting cinnamon is possible but it adds a subtle warm flavor.
  • Store leftover roasted squash in the refrigerator for up to two days.
