Roasted Delicata Squash with Hot Honey
Share recipe
Description
While I rarely cook with winter squash, I do make an exception for delicata squash because its flavor is milder and I don't have to peel it! If you haven't tried hot honey before, it's amazing on roasted vegetables and meats of all kinds.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 delicata squash
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
- 1. 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.
- 2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 3. 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.
- 4. Roast in the preheated oven, flipping halfway through, until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Drizzle hot honey over squash.
