  • The most popular recipe for delicata squash 
  • Perfect for oven or air fryer
  • No peeling necessary, the skin is tender and becomes crispy when baked
  • Its naturally sweet, creamy flesh gives these fries a flavor and texture similar to sweet potato fries

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 delicata squash
  • 1 finely diced garlic clove
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • Smoked paprika
  • Fine herbs of choice (rosemary is my favourite)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the squash. Wash the squash. Slice in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Cut crosswise into half-inch slices.
  3. Season. Toss the squash slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and fine herbs of choice until evenly coated. 
  4. Roast. Spread the slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender with lightly caramelized edges.
  5. Serve. Enjoy on their own or with your favourite dipping sauce.
