Herb Roasted Delicata Squash Topped with Pomegranate Seeds, Pepitas, and Feta

I couldn’t resist this delicata squash when I passed it in the grocery store. I imagined an herb roasted delicata squash topped with pomegranate seeds, pepitas, and feta. It was a beautiful side dish and we all, kids included, loved this squash and thought it paired nicely with roasted chicken and autumn salad I served it with.

  1. This is one of my favorite squashes. I usually cut it in half the long way, clean it, slather it with butter and then either cook it in the microwave or roast it. Then I get a whole half piece to myself! Yummy!
