delicata squash

blanching, as opposed to boiling, preserves the nutrients in veggies and yields the perfect texture!

· recipes - savory

ingredients

1 - 2 organic delicata squash

spray organic coconut oil

Kosher or Celtic salt (i.e.: quality salt)

recipe

preheat oven to 450 degrees.

stab each of the squash with knife a few times, wrap with paper towel, microwave 2-3 minutes.

next, slice these about 1 inch thick. you'll notice that once you get the bottom / wider part of the squash, you'll find some strings and seeds! go ahead and cut those out.

position squash evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. spray with coconut oil. sprinkle with high quality salt.

roast in oven for 22-25 minutes.

why I love delicata squash:

1️⃣ flavor: smooth and creamy with a slightly sweet taste

2️⃣ high vitamin c: immunity + cell / nerve / muscle repair

3️⃣ high fiber: promotes fullness AND healthy poops ◡̈ 💩 + helps decrease risk of diabetes (low glycemic index…which means it does NOT spike your blood pressure)

4️⃣ high potassium: helps control blood pressure (works opposite of sodium within your cells to maintain healthy balance of fluids/electrolytes)
