Maple Glazed Roasted Delicata Squash

This simple to prepare Maple Glazed Roasted Delicata Squash is a perfect quick vegetable side dish for your holiday table. When I am creating vegetable side dish variations for the holidays, I like to use a lot of different add-ins to create layers of flavor and texture. Sometimes less is more, and I think this is the case with this simple roasted delicata squash recipe. With only a few ingredients you can prepare this side dish in short order, and focus on your turkey or other intricate dishes that you love to prepare. Plus, the delicata is interchangeable with other winter squashes like butternut or acorn. The advantage of delicata? It’s tender skin does not need to be peeled so prep time is a breeze!
