“Tomorrow, I’m going to eat more vegetables.”
"Eat Your Veggies" is a pseudo-weekly series featuring easy, seasonal veggie recipes.
I guess I’ve been going a little squash crazy lately, only because I have a ton of it leftover from my CSA. And its just such a quintessential fall food: brilliantly orange, soft, warm, and pillowy.
Delicata Squash are awesome. They’re small, so you can buy only the amount you need and not have awkward half-squashes wrapped in plastic and tupperware bins of puree hanging around your kitchen. Peeling winter squash is the most dangerous and time consuming aspect of preparation, but Delicata skin is thin enough to digest, so no peeling required! Hooray for not going to the ER with severed fingers!
Give roasting them a shot. Its quick and easy, and makes a great side dish to any fall or winter meal. I served it with mini meat loaves and green salad.
