Flaky Garlic-Herb Crusted Delicata Squash

Discover the quintessential flavors of autumn in a single dish: This has a savory, salty, garlic & herb breading that’s kind of irresistible. There might have been leftover ingredients in the test kitchen.

Perfectly cooked and deliciously seasoned, this recipe is ideal for weeknights as well as busy holiday gatherings – you’ll easily fit it into your schedule. Let’s get to it!

This roasted delicata squash recipe begins with preparing the ingredients by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C), then carefully cutting the delicata squash in half lengthwise, scooping out the seeds, and placing it cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. A harmonious blend of flavors: Panko breadcrumbs, the lightest of textures; nutritional yeast, a savory depth; fragrant rosemary, its herbaceousness; garlic powder, a subtle punch; and sea salt, a touch of minerality. Adding fresh parsley is an optional touch to add a vibrant splash of colour!

Slice the squash into 1/2-inch pieces and then coat each piece in a bowl of breadcrumbs that will provide a satisfying crunch when cooked. Gently press the well-oiled squash into the breading mixture, ensuring a uniform coating on all surfaces.

After a brief 15-minute stint in the oven, the crispy breading will perfectly caramelize, while the tender squash will become delightfully tender.
