Tried a new veggie this weekend, Delicata squash

I sliced it in fairly thick slices and sprinkled it with brown sugar and sweet spices...delicious!

Roasted Delicata Squash

Delicata squash, sliced thickly

Butter, melted
Ground Cloves
Ground Ginger
Ground Nutmeg
Ground Cinnamon
Brown Sugar

Coat rings with melted butter. Sprinkle each spice using smallest amount possible of the cloves and ginger and nutmeg (they can be very overpowering if not careful). You can be a little more generous with the cinnamon.

Roast in oven (or toaster Oven) on 350 for 15 minutes, turn and roast other side for 15 minutes more. Then increase heat (broil 425) to brown if not caramelized enough yet.
Watch carefully to prevent burning during the broiling stage.

Tastes like candy!

Notes:
I cut up a sweet potato and used the butter nutmeg and cinnamon on it and put it in the oven with the squash. More candy...
