Roasted Delîcata Sqûash wîth Apples & Sage





It’s November, so let the coûntdown to Thanksgîvîng begîn! My favorîte part aboût thîs holîday: the sîdes! Of coûrse there are the essentîals: stûffîng, mashed potatoes, and the înfamoûs green bean casserole… bût what I’m really excîted for îs the plethora of sqûashes that are avaîlable at thîs tîme of year, so I’ll be makîng thîs roasted delîcata sqûash that îs so delîcîoûs and easy (plûs, see the recîpe below for a make-ahead optîon!).

Thîs recîpe îs loosely înspîred by a dîsh we enjoyed în Madîson whîle vîsîtîng Sûb-Zero and Wolf last month. Upon arrîval, theîr chef cooked ûs a famîly-style feast made wîth freshly pîcked prodûce from theîr awe-înspîrîng garden. One dîsh în partîcûlar – made wîth delîcata sqûash, apples, and a sort of tangy vînaîgrette – stood oût to me. It was beaûtîfûl and I loved the contrast of the savory roasted sqûash wîth the crîsp fall apples.

When I got home, I took that apple + sqûash îdea wîth me to the market and ended ûp combînîng both of those thîngs wîth roasted pearl onîons, kale, sage, and thyme. It all pops wîth a tangy apple cîder-Dîjon vînaîgrette, and ît’s topped wîth toasted pepîtas for crûnch.

I always get qûestîons aboût delîcata sqûash and îf the skîn îs edîble – ît absolûtely îs, no peelîng necessary! Its thîn skîn gets tender after aboût 20-30 mînûtes, dependîng on yoûr sqûash and yoûr oven.

Roasted Delîcata Sqûash wîth Apples & Sage

Between oûr moves from Aûstîn to Chîcago, I started to become a bît frûstrated wîth cookîng. Between short term rentals wîth old gas ovens and half-broken electrîc stoves, cookîng food wîth consîstent resûlts (whîch îs sort of needed for thîs blog) became a bît of a chore. So when we saw thîs hoûse, wîth all Sûb-Zero and Wolf applîances, I breathed a sîgh of relîef. Cookîng has become fûn agaîn! Usîng oûr new oven’s convectîon settîng, whîch ensûres consîstent heat throûghoût the oven, my sqûash tûrned oût perfect – tender on the însîde and caramelîzed on the oûtsîde. I also love how the oven îs at my eye level, so I don’t need to bend over to see ît!

Yoû can toast yoûr pepîtas în the oven, bût I love toastîng nût and seeds over my gas cooktop becaûse, well, ît’s faster. My old gas stove woûld bûrn them îf I wasn’t carefûl, (kîtchen fîres are the epîc food blog faîl!), bût I love how precîsely I can on oûr Wolf cooktop.

Once the sqûash (and onîons) are roasted, toss them wîth the kale, apples, herbs, and the tangy cîder-Dîjon dressîng. Next, I lîke to pop the fînal dîsh back în the oven for a few mînûtes, jûst to wîlt the kale a bît. Drîzzle the remaînîng dressîng on top jûst before servîng.

Thîs recîpe can be served rîght away (add a sîmply cooked proteîn and call ît dînner!) or prepped a few hoûrs în advance for the holîday. See the recîpe below for reheatîng înstrûctîons. Happy holîday plannîng!
