Roasted Delicata Squash With Thyme
serves 2-4
Roasted squash is nearly impossible to mess up. Your only danger, I think, is undercooking it. Any winter squash will work, but I love delicata squash because they’re pretty, delicious, and not a total pain to cut open.

1 delicata squash
Olive oil
1 pinch salt
1 pinch sugar
4 thyme sprigs
prep: 10 minutes
total: 40 minutes
baking sheet (or roasting pan)
1. Preheat oven to 425F. Halve the squash lengthwise and remove the seeds. Cut each piece in half again.
2. Drizzle the squash with olive oil. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and sugar. Top with pepper to taste and fresh thyme sprigs.
3. Bake for 30 minutes. These will hold well in a warm oven if they finish before you are ready to serve them. If they look dry, you can “refresh” them with a little drizzle of olive oil. Plate them with the roasted thyme sprigs and it’ll look fancy!
