Roasted Delicata Squash Recipe (Oven + Air Fryer)
My new favorite side dish - Roasted Delicata Squash is like a lower-carb sweet potato french fry that is easier and quicker to make!
Servings: 2 servings
Calories: 77kcal
Ingredients
- 1 delicata squash or as many as you want!
- olive oil avocado oil, or coconut oil cooking spray
Your fav seasoning - here are some options:
- sea salt
- garlic powder
- parmesan cheese I usually do 1 tablespoon
- chili powder/cayenne
- cinnamon + maple syrup
Instructions
OVEN
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice your delicata squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds using a spoon. Then slice into thin half moons - the thinner the slice, the crispier your squash will be.
- Arrange squash slices onto your baking sheet in a single layer. Spray generously with cooking oil spray then sprinkle on your desired seasonings.
- Roast for 30 - 40 minutes, turning squash fries halfway, if desired (sometimes I forget and they are still fine). The closer to 40 minutes you go, the crispier your squash will be. I like them right when the edges start to almost burn! So check on them and roast to your desired texture.
AirFryer
- Slice your delicata squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds using a spoon. Then slice into thin half moons - the thinner the slice, the crispier your squash will be.
- Arrange squash slices in your Air Fryer or CrispLid basket in a single layer. Spray generously with cooking oil spray then sprinkle on your desired seasonings.
- Roast on 400 for 10-12 minutes, shaking basket or turning squash fries halfway, if desired (sometimes I forget and they are still fine). Watch carefully towards the end of the time to make sure they don't burn. I like them right when the edges start to almost burn - took me about 12 minutes!
