My sister (who went Paleo and is killing it), bought some delicata squash at a local farmer’s market with my parents in Iowa…I had never heard of it, but she said it was amazing. Therefore, I had to try, I love veggies and am obsessed with trying new things. In all honesty, it was in with the pumpkins, so I think I thought initially it was a decorative gourd, haha.
I looked for a quick easy recipe to try it out, and this recipe is the one I used from White on Rice Couple.
Favorite things about this new squash: 1) it’s smaller, so much easier to cut through when raw, 2) the skin gets soft with roasting so no need to peel (yay more nutrients!), 3) tastes a little less starchy, 4) versatile, and 5) bright color 🙂
Delicata squash has got to be one of the best kept secrets of the gourd family. EASY to fix, delicious and you can eat the peeling. We love it and eat it weekly. Thanks Shelby!!!!!
We had never heard of it either.
