Maple Roasted Delicata Squash & Red Onion
Delicata squash has to get its name from the fact that it is worthy of being called a delicacy! It is my absolute FAVORITE kind of squash and it only makes its way to the grocery for a few weeks each year.
That means, when it is in season I am eating it CONSTANTLY and every single time I make it the way I’ve listed below.
I recommend taking full advantage of Delicata squash season…you won’t regret it!
And if they are not available at the market/store, you can easily replace it with butternut squash or sweet potato.
ENJOY!
PS - Eat your Maple Roasted Delicata Squash & Red onion as a side dish with just about anything, or try one of my favorite combos…
