Ingredients

Main ingredients

3 pieces delicata squash (sliced into rings) Look for firm squash with creamy yellow skin and green stripes.
3 tablespoons olive oil Can be substituted with avocado oil or melted coconut oil.
4 cloves garlic (minced) Fresh garlic can be substituted with garlic powder (1 teaspoon).
0.5 cup Parmesan (grated) Can be replaced with Grana Padano or nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option.
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Mix your own herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme if needed.
to taste salt and pepper Adjust based on preference.
to taste fresh parsley For garnish.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While the oven is heating, wash the delicata squash and slice it into rings about 1/2-inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the squash rings with olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Spread the seasoned squash rings in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring there is enough space between them for roasting.

Cooking

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the squash for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden brown.
In the last five minutes of roasting, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the squash.

Serving

Once out of the oven, garnish the roasted garlic Parmesan delicata squash with fresh parsley. Serve warm.

Notes

Overcrowding the baking sheet can lead to steaming instead of roasting. For best results, space the squash rings out properly. Watch for overcooking to prevent mushiness.
