Test Kitchen Notes
I love a good squash recipe and this one did not disappoint. Delicata squash has got to be one of my favorite weeknight squashes because it's just so darn easy.

Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons
olive oil
-
1 teaspoon
maple syrup
-
1 1/2 pounds
Delicata squash, cut in half lengthwise, cored, then cut into 1/2 inch moons
-
1/2 teaspoon
kosher salt
-
2 tablespoons
walnuts, chopped
-
1/4 cup
Parmesan cheese, grated
-
2 tablespoons
parsley, chopped
Directions
-
Preheat over to 400°F.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and maple syrup. Place squash moons in a medium-sized bowl and pour olive oil mixture on top. Add salt and toss to coat. Transfer squash to a baking sheet and spread out so it's in a single layer and there are no overlapping moons. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until squash is soft and nicely browned.
-
In the meantime, toast walnuts in a small saucepan over low heat until they are about a shade darker and smell nuttier, about 5-10 minutes.
-
Arrange squash on a platter and sprinkle with toasted walnuts, Parmesan, and parsley. Serve immediately.
