Description

This delicata squash recipe is Chef John's scrumptious method for tender, sweet slices of squash seasoned with olive oil, salt, and cayenne.

• 1 large delicata squash - ends trimmed, halved lengthwise, seeded

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

2 Place squash halves cut-side down on a cutting board. Cut into 3/8-inch slices.

3 Transfer slices to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil; add salt and cayenne pepper. Toss until squash is well coated.

4 Arrange squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

5 Bake in the preheated oven until the bottoms are browned and squash is tender, 12 to 18 minutes.
