Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium delicata squash
2 medium red jalapenos or Fresno peppers
3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup plus 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon harissa
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 1/2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out and reserve the seeds in a small bowl. Cut the squash into 1-inch half-moons and place into a large bowl.
  • Thinly slice 1 of the jalapenos and place in a small bowl with the white balsamic, making sure the vinegar covers the peppers completely. Set aside to pickle while the squash cooks.
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice the remaining jalapeno and transfer to a small skillet with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and 1 teaspoon of the harissa. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the peppers are shimmering and starting to lighten in color in the center and the seeds are turning golden brown, about 5 minutes. Strain the oil into the large bowl with the squash and add the remaining 2 teaspoons harissa, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. Use tongs (the oil will be hot) to toss everything together. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until a butter knife can be inserted easily into the squash and removed, about 30 minutes.
  • While the squash is cooking, toss the seeds with the pumpkin pie spice, cayenne pepper, remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until light golden and crispy, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Transfer the squash to a serving platter. Drain the jalapenos and sprinkle over top along with the feta cheese and roasted seeds.

This recipe is a great way to use up delicata squash. The squash is roasted until tender and the glaze adds a nice touch of sweetness and spice. I served it with roasted chicken and it was a delicious meal.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the squash is always roasted perfectly. The glaze is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I've made it several times and it's always a hit with my family and friends.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the glaze and it was much better. The squash was roasted perfectly, though.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The squash was roasted perfectly and the glaze was flavorful. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

This recipe was a disaster! The squash was not cooked through and the glaze was way too spicy. I had to throw the whole thing out. :(

Meh. I thought this recipe was just okay. The squash was a bit bland and the glaze was too spicy for my taste. I probably won't make it again.

So easy to make and so delicious! I love that I didn't have to peel the squash. The glaze was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I served it with roasted chicken and it was a perfect meal.

Absolutely delicious! I'm not usually a fan of winter squash, but this recipe changed my mind. The delicate flavor of the delicata squash pairs perfectly with the spicy glaze. I will definitely be making this again!
