What Is Delicata Squash?

Delicata squash is a winter squash with an oblong shape, striped pale yellow skin, and orange-colored flesh. It tastes similar to butternut squash with a velvety inside.

Even though it’s considered a winter vegetable, it’s only available in late summer and early Fall, so now is the time to take advantage!

This dish is so simple, savory, sweet, and delicious! I love serving it as an appetizer or a complimentary side dish to a holiday feast. Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or even Thanksgiving would be fantastic events for making this squash.

What You’ll Need to Make Roasted Delicata Squash

• One medium delicata squash
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 3 Tablespoons melted butter
• 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

How To Make Parmesan Crusted Delicata Squash

1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Prepare a 9×13 baking dish.
2. Clean the outside of the squash, then cut the squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out and discard the seeds. Cut each squash half into 1-inch-thick slices.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and garlic.
4. Spread half of the melted butter and the garlic over the bottom of the baking dish. Then, sprinkle all but a few tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese on top.
5. Arrange squash slices on top of the cheese. Drizzle the remaining butter mixture over the squash—season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
6. Roast the squash for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and tender. Enjoy!
