Ingredients

1 large delicata squash about 2 pounds
1 Tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425℉.
Wash the outside of the squash well and cut the ends off. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and use a large spoon to scoop out seeds.
Place squash halves cut-side down on a cutting board and cut into ½" half moon slices.
Place squash slices in a bowl and drizzle with oil and season with salt and garlic powder. Toss to coat.
Arrange squash slices on a large baking sheet in a single layer, making sure there is some space in between each slice. Crowded squash will steam instead of roast, so giving the slices room is important in achieving that roasted outside. If needed, split the batch between two smaller baking sheets so slices have space.
Note: I found roasting the squash on an unlined baking sheet is key for getting that roasted outside too. If tossed well with the oil, I have not had any issues of the squash sticking.
Roast squash in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, flip each slice and roast for another 5-10 minutes or until the squash is tender and golden on the outside.
Enjoy warm.
