Optional: add more herbs and spicesI love smoked paprika, cayenne, and Italian herb seasoning!
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425ºF.
Cut the ends off the Delicata squash to create a flat surface, then cut the squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and discard or save for roasting.
Slice the squash into ¼-inch slices. Place on baking sheet (lined with parchment paper) and toss with oil, salt, and pepper. (And any additional herbs & spices.)
Spread the squash out on two baking sheets in one even layer.
Roast for 20 minutes. Remove one tray at a time and flip each piece of squash. Roast for another 15-25 minutes, or until it is brown and caramelized.
Notes
Don't forget to flip! Opening the oven actually releases some of the steam, which increases crisping, and flipping gives both sides contact with the sheet pan. This results in the crispiest delicata!
