Ingredients
Scale
For the delicata squash fries
- 2 pounds delicata squash (2 medium to large)*
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- Fresh ground black pepper
For the sauce
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Mexican hot sauce (we like Cholula)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon dried dill
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Wash the squash. Cut it in half lengthwise, then use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Cut each half into 1/2-inch half-moon shaped slices.
- Place the slices in a bowl. Mix with the olive oil, kosher salt, and plenty of fresh ground black pepper.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the squash on the sheet in a single layer.
- Roast for 20 to 25 minutes until tender and slightly browned. Eat immediately. (Store leftovers refrigerated and reheat in a 400°F oven.)
- While the squash roasts, mix together the sauce ingredients. (Or substitute Lemon Tahini Sauce for a vegan or non-spicy option.)
- Serve squash warm from the oven with the sauce.
