Ingredients
4 delicata squash
4 apples (2 varieties, like Gala and Granny Smith)
1/4 cup olive oil or 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sumac, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper or vanilla sea salt, for sprinkling, optional
Fresh sage, for roasting, optional
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Wash the exterior of the delicata squash and apples, then cut them in half from top to bottom; don't remove the skin. You can scoop out the center of the squash and apples to remove the seeds. Place a couple of chopsticks on a cutting board on either side of the halved squash/apple; this helps keep the knife from slicing all the way through so that the cuts create an accordion effect. Place the squash and apples on a sheet pan, brush the tops with olive oil or melted butter, and sprinkle with a little salt and/or spices. If you want to, you can also tuck fresh sage in between the cuts.
- Roast until tender, 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the fruit or vegetable; delicata squash and apples may take 15 to 20 minutes.
- Variations: Brush the apples with maple syrup or sprinkle with brown sugar, tuck fresh thyme leaves between the cuts, and sprinkle with vanilla sea salt after roasting.
