DIRECTIONS

​

Delicata squash is a very sweet squash with an edible, thin skin. There is no need to peel it for this recipe.

 

Put butter in a small saucepan. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, and has a wonderful nutty aroma. Reserve.

 

Heat oven to 450 degrees.

 

Toss delicata squash with cinnamon, sumac, maple syrup, olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

 

Spread out squash in a large baking dish, and cover with foil.

 

Roast for 20- 25 minutes, until squash is tender. Remove foil and let roast for an additional 10-15 minutes until squash is caramelized.

 

Toss squash with pistachios and pomegranate. Drizzle with some pomegranate molasses, and garnish with local micro greens.
