I just baked some last night two-ways. peeled (for both) and cut in half.
for one: i sliced it pretty thin, topped with a sauteed mixture of onions, madeira wine, water and sage, then topped that with gala apples, salt/pepper. after about 20 minutes, topped it with parmesan cheese and baked until cheese was br0wn—i baked in individual brulee rounds, YUM.
for the other, baked the halved squash with olive oil….sauteed onions, garlic and then added sage and kale…sauteed until super wilted. add white beans, drained. add bread crumbs/parmesan cheese mix.. stuff squash and put back in oven for 15 minutes

I LOVE IT!

Hi Sam – I think the last of them are in stores now. I only see them in the fall and early winter months Oct-Jan pretty much. I think they are very seasonal.

I love love love delicata – its my favorite thing to eat, just microwave for about 7 minutes, remove seeds, and sprinkle some truvia and its delicious. I was able to find it at Whole Foods until about a month ago…

Where do you buy it and is it still being sold now?

I found nutritional info for the delicata squash (at friedas.com). 1 cup equals 40 calories, 1.3 g of fiber, and no fat!

Allison – yup, I think all winter squash is a pain in the “you know what”. ;~) But I look at it like a mini workout.

You can also try poppin’ them into the microwave for a few minutes to soften them. It works for butternut!

Roni, you inspired me to try this squah and I’m glad I did! I made delicata fried last night, except that I sprinkled Red Robin Seasoning (from the restaurant) on them and they turned out delish! The only thing though, do you have a hard time cutting the darn thing into fries? My hand was in serious pain after cutting it up into fries… Perhaps I need new knifves but ouch!

I love discovering new foods at the grocery! I’ll keep an eye out for Delicata. It’s even got a cute name.

My family loves these squash. I buy a ton of them in the fall and keep them cool in the garage and they make it until Thanksgiving. I just cut them down the middle, place them on a baking sheet upside down and bake for 20-30 minutes. Turn them over sprinkle a little brown sugar on top and serve.
