I spotted these colorful squash at a farm stand in Vermont last weekend - I brought them home and scoured the Internet to find out what to do with them! I found the following recipe on . The squash turned out to be delicious, with delicate, edible skin. The tangy/spicy butter topping complemented the mild squash perfectly. Ingredients:
2 (3/4 lb) delicata squash |
3 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 tablespoon lime juice |
1 teaspoon chili powder |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cut squash in half lengthwise and remove fibers and seeds. Place cut-side down in a glass baking dish and add water to the dish to a depth of 1/4 inch.
3. Bake 30 minutes or until squash is soft but not mushy. Remove from oven.
4. In a small bowl, combine butter, lime juice, and chili powder; stir until well blended. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Spoon the butter mixture into baked squash cavities and serve hot.
