delicata squash

what is it?

These small squash have yellow or cream-color skin with dark-green stripes. Delicatas have moist flesh that tastes like a combination of roasted corn and lemon zest; their flavor becomes richer when roasted or sautéed. Slice and steam until tender and then toss with a balsamic vinaigrette and pine nuts. Or roast with other root vegetables and drizzle with melted butter.

don't have it?

Substitute acorn squash.

how to choose:

Because of their thin, edible skin, they don't have a long shelf life, so inspect them carefully for bruises and cuts.

how to prep:

No need to peel the thin edible skin of this sqaush.

how to store:

Store them at room temperature for no more than two weeks.
