Roasted Delicata Squash with Turmeric
Description
This recipe calls for washing and drying delicata squash, halving and seeding it, then slicing into quarter-inch thick half rounds. The slices are tossed with olive oil, kosher salt, ground turmeric, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper to evenly coat them. The seasoned squash is laid flat on oiled baking sheets and roasted at 425°F, first on one side until golden, then flipped to roast the other side, resulting in tender centers and browned, crisp edges.
The turmeric provides a subtle aromatic warmth and golden hue that complements the natural sweetness of delicata squash. Fresh chopped cilantro is sprinkled on top before serving to add a bright herbal note. This preparation showcases the squash’s flavor and texture without requiring complicated steps.
