Maple Roasted Delicata Squash Rings

This simple recipe for Maple Roasted Delicata Squash Rings cooks up quick and has a perfect balance between sweet and savory flavors.

Delicata squash is a favorite winter squash of mine. The skin is more tender than many squash varieties, making it unnecessary to remove. I also like that the smaller general size of delicata squash makes it perfect for smaller batch cooking. While I’ve simply glazed and roasted it here, I also like to serve it with pasta or grains.
