Maple and Cinnamon Roasted Delicata Squash

Maple and Cinnamon Roasted Delicata Squash

This maple and cinnamon roasted delicata squash is the perfect Autumn (or holiday) side dish. I wanted to try cutting the squash into slivers to roast this time because I heard that delicata squash skin is tasty. I loved the smell of this squash while it was roasting in the oven–delightful! My kids and I thought the squash was delicious, but my husband isn’t a fan of squash so he thought it was just okay.

How to Make Maple and Cinnamon Roasted Delicata Squash

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Cut the delicata squash in half, scoop out the seeds with a spoon, then slice.  Combine the olive oil (or melted butter) with the maple syrup and a dash of cinnamon; whisk until well combined. Place the squash slices into a bowl and drizzle with the maple syrup mixture; toss to coat evenly.

Place onto the baking sheet then season with a bit of sea salt, to taste.

Place into the oven and bake for 7 minutes, then flip the squash over. Continue to bake for about 10 minutes, then flip the squash over again. Continue baking for a few more minutes, until the squash is fork-tender.

Remove from the oven and let them cool a bit before transferring to a serving tray. Serve. Enjoy.

  1. I know this would be really good.. I’ve roasted sweet potatoes before with almost the exact same ingredients and it turned out fabulous!!!

  2. Delicata is definitely one of my favorite squashes…partly because no peeling is necessary while preparing it! And partly because it’s just delicious.

  3. 5 stars
    This was my first try at delicata squash. So tasty! I did add a dash of hot sauce because I like a little kick. Easy to make, goes with alot of mains and makes for a wonderful winter veggie side.
