Parmesan Crusted Delicata Squash
This squash adapted from Skinny Taste is a treasure! Leaving the skin on makes it so easy and SO delicious, chewy, and yet tender. Best texture. And the lemon zest takes it over the edge.

Ingredients
- 1 Whole washed/dried delicata squash halved, seeded and sliced into half circles (no need to peel! yes you eat it! (480 g)
- 1/2 Tbsp olive oil (7 g)
- 1 garlic clove I use the frozen Dorset cubes from Trader Joes and other basic grocers
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 tbs good grated or shaved parmesan (20 g)
- 1 small shallot sliced thinly (50 g)
- 2 tbs fresh parsley (or 1 Tbsp dried)
- 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme (or 1-2 tsp dried)
- 1 tsp lemon zest (I just zest one lemon)
Instructions
- Preheat over to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment, lightly sprayed with oil.
- Slice squash in half and scoop the seeds out with an ice cream scoop. Slice the halves into 1/4 inch thick half circles and place them in a big ziplock bag.
- Add garlic, parmesan, parsley, thyme, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and olive oil into the bag. Seal and shake well to coat.
- Pour out onto the lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the center of the oven until soft and golden brown on the edges. About 25 minutes.
Notes
These were delicious as a snack dipped in marinara... or tossed into my kale salad. Or of course just plain! A FAVORITE when they're in season!
