Equipment

Ingredients

4 delicata squash
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon white pepper
½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400.
Halve squash lengthwise and scoop out seeds.*
Cut into ½” thick strips across the width of the squash to create sliver moon shapes.
In a medium sized bowl, toss the oil and spices with the squash until evenly coated.
Spread on large rimmed baking sheet. **
Roast for 15 minutes. Flip and roast for another 10 minutes. Depending on how thick you've sliced the squash, it could be ready to flip in 10 minutes, so keep an eye on it.

Notes

SQUASH

There is no need to peel the squash. The skins will soften while roasting and add to the nutritional value and the taste. Wash thoroughly before cutting.
Arrange squash on a baking tray in a single layer if you want it to get crispy. You may need to use several baking trays to accomplish this. Otherwise, it will "steam" if it's crowded. Either way, it will be delicious, it's just good to decide in advance what you're trying to achieve.
Substitute acorn squash if delicata isn’t available. Use 2 medium sized acorns and follow the same directions.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

Squash can be made in advance and reheated at 350 for 15 minutes.
