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.

I think I also would have added it to my shopping basket as it looks so pretty 🙂
How festive and pretty! I bet these pumpkin slices taste as delicious as they look, Pam.
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!
i think i’m comfortable saying that delicata squash is my favorite winter squash, and this is a beautiful and tasty way to prepare it!
I love doing different things with squash. You have used lots of interesting, delicious ingredients.
