Delicious Delicata
This week I earned some squash points by trying about the adorable delicata squash. I chose it by happen stance when a chatty woman started raving to me about how delicious they are and recommended I bake it whole. So when I got home I washed one, poked a few holes, and popped it in the oven. It took 30-40 minutes to bake, and I then sliced it in half and scooped out the seeds.
I really like these. They are easy to cook, rich and sweet in taste, and I feel that they taste the most delicious eaten plain. When I tried butter and salt it really took away from the flavor. And it was as easy as baking a potato!

I first tried Delicata for the first time this year, too! I agree: very delicious. Although I am partial to mine glazed in honey. Yum!
This is my first year eating these squash too and now I’ve got them stashed in the pantry so we can eat them all winter. I like them with sea salt, a little olive oil and diced serrano peppers. Great photo!
Yum. Thanks for the suggestions on how to eat them ladies! I’ll have to give that a try this week
We tried delicata for the first time this year, too, and LOVED them! We had ours with local honey-butter and it was to. die. for. My husband thinks they have a fresh corn-on-the-cob taste…I just think it’s delicious.
