Delicata Squash - So Good!

 In my Facebook group, we have a BINGO card that I am trying to mark off.  One of the items is to try a new veggie.  Well, I was a bit worried as I didn't think there were that many I hadn't tried BUT then I remembered the squash family.  There are so many types and I'm still a baby with them.  While at the store, I picked up a Delicata Squash.  Yep, never heard of it before either.  It's cute and fairly small.


After researching them, I decided to give it a go.  The first step was to THOROUGHLY wash the exterior.  Yep, that's new for working with squash - at least for me -- but it's edible.

Next, trim off both ends and then slice down the middle.  Scoop out seeds and discard.


Slice each half into 1/2 to 3/4" moons.


Place in a bag with 2 teaspoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoons of salt and pepper. 


Shake.


Layout slices on a cookie sheet (line with silpat or parchment paper for easier cleanup).  Bake at 425F for 20 minutes, turn each slice over and bake an additional 15 minutes or until they look like they are starting to burn.  Yep, that's what the directions said.


They should be crispy - we ate them like fries and loved them.  Will do again.
