Roasted Delicata Squash With Hot Honey Recipes

Steps:

• Combine honey, vinegar, red pepper flakes, thyme, smoked paprika, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature so flavors infuse, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Scrub delicata squash and pat dry. Cut into 1/2-inch rings. Scoop out seeds from the center of each ring. Toss rings with olive oil and arrange on the baking sheet. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Roast in the preheated oven, flipping halfway through, until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Drizzle hot honey over squash.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out and reserve the seeds in a small bowl. Cut the squash into 1-inch half-moons and place into a large bowl.
• Thinly slice 1 of the jalapenos and place in a small bowl with the white balsamic, making sure the vinegar covers the peppers completely. Set aside to pickle while the squash cooks.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the remaining jalapeno and transfer to a small skillet with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and 1 teaspoon of the harissa. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the peppers are shimmering and starting to lighten in color in the center and the seeds are turning golden brown, about 5 minutes. Strain the oil into the large bowl with the squash and add the remaining 2 teaspoons harissa, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. Use tongs (the oil will be hot) to toss everything together. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until a butter knife can be inserted easily into the squash and removed, about 30 minutes.
• While the squash is cooking, toss the seeds with the pumpkin pie spice, cayenne pepper, remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until light golden and crispy, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Transfer the squash to a serving platter. Drain the jalapenos and sprinkle over top along with the feta cheese and roasted seeds.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 F.
• Cut the delicata squash lengthwise, remove the seeds and slice each half into ½" slices.
• Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and toss with some olive oil and a tablespoon of honey. Roast for about half an hour (15 minutes on each side), or, until tender and caramelized around the edges.
• In a small skillet combine the pecans with a little olive oil and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring often for about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper and mix in the remaining honey. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• In the same skillet, toast the hazelnuts (if using) and then grind (or chop) them finely.
• Break up the cheese, or crumble it and set aside.
• Once the slices of the delicata squash are roasted and caramelized around the edges, let them cool slightly and place them on a large plate. Top with the toasted nuts, the crumbled cheese. Serve as a side dish or as a light meal.

Steps:

• Place squash halves cut side down on a cutting board. Slice into 3/8-inch slices. Transfer slices to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil; add salt and cayenne pepper. Toss to coat squash with oil.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
• Arrange squash pieces in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Place in preheated oven until bottom of slices is browned and squash is tender, 12 to 18 minutes.

Steps:

• Slice squash to 1/4 inch thickness.
• Remove seeds and membranes.
• Mix in small bowl with olive oil and salt.
• Arrange in baking dish.
• Spread Parmessan cheese over squash.
• Place in 350 degree oven.
