Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced delicata squash with olive oil, ensuring each piece is lightly coated. Season generously with sea salt. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Arrange the squash in a single layer on a baking sheet, being careful not to overcrowd. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, flipping the squash halfway through, until tender and lightly browned. (25 minutes)

05

Step

Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with curry powder. Return to the oven for an additional 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the squash to caramelize further. (5 minutes)

For a deeper flavor, try using brown butter instead of olive oil.
A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat.
Serve immediately as a side dish, or let cool and use as a topping for salads, grain bowls, or even pizzas.
