Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it nice and hot for roasting.
- Rinse the delicata squashes under running water to remove any dirt.
- Cut off both ends of each squash, and then slice them in half lengthwise.
- Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and discard or save them for another use.
- Cut the squash into 1/2-inch thick slices, making sure they are all uniform for even roasting.
- Rinse the mushrooms under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- If the mushrooms are large, consider cutting them into halves or quarters to ensure even cooking. Leave smaller mushrooms whole.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced delicata squash and mushrooms.
- Drizzle the 6 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables.
- Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper over the mixture.
- Toss everything together until the squash and mushrooms are evenly coated with the olive oil and seasonings.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they roast rather than steam.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through the cooking time to promote even roasting.
- The delicata squash should be fork-tender and the mushrooms should be golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Transfer the roasted delicata squash and mushroom medley to a serving dish.
- Serve immediately as a side dish or as a topping for grain bowls, salads, or pasta dishes.
Tips:
- Ensure to thoroughly clean the mushrooms to remove any dirt or debris before cooking.
- Cut the delicata squash into evenly sized pieces to ensure even roasting.
- Keep an eye on the vegetables while they roast to prevent overcooking and to achieve a perfect tender-crisp texture.
- Feel free to add other herbs or spices to suit your taste preferences.
