Equipment

Ingredients

1 medium Delicata squash halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F degrees and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place the squash on one of the baking sheets or in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and honey, and season with salt, pepper and cinnamon; toss to coat.
Divide the squash evenly onto the two prepared baking sheets, making sure they are spread out and not touching. Bake the squash until tender and browned, 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Remove from the pan and serve immediately.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge.

Make Ahead Tips: You can cut the delicata squash, remove the seeds and slice them up to 3 days in advance. When ready to cook, just toss the slices in olive oil, salt and pepper (and cinnamon, if desired) and roast in the oven.

Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However, if you prefer to skip the cinnamon, that's no problem. You can also add anything to finish off the roasted delicata squash, or simply enjoy roasted alone.
