- 2 delicata squash
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 0.75 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup pepitas (raw pumpkin seeds)
How to make Roasted Delicata Squash with Maple-Chili Glaze and Toasted Pepitas
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Wash the 2 medium delicata squashes thoroughly. Unlike other squashes, delicata skin is edible, so no need to peel.
- Carefully slice each squash in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds and fibrous strands from the center of each half.
- Cut the squash halves into 1/2-inch thick crescent-shaped slices. In a large bowl, toss the squash slices with 2 tbsp olive oil, 0.75 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned squash slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. This promotes even roasting and browning.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the squash halfway through, until the slices are tender and lightly caramelized.
- While the squash roasts, prepare the glaze and toast the pepitas. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp maple syrup and 1 tsp chili powder.
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast 0.25 cup pepitas for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are lightly browned and begin to pop. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the squash is roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the maple-chili glaze evenly over the warm squash slices and gently toss to coat.
- Return the glazed squash to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze is slightly bubbly and sticky. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
- Transfer the roasted delicata squash to a serving dish and sprinkle generously with the toasted pepitas before serving hot.
