Roasted Delicata Squash with Lemon Tahini Sauce
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 large delicata squash halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into thick slices
  • 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin or to taste- divided
  • Kosher or sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 fresh scallions thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon tahini (sesame paste)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the delicata squash slices on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss the squash with 2 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1 teaspoon of cumin, salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes.
  • Combine the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the scallions in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss. Scatter this scallion mixture over the squash and continue to roast squash until tender, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Whisk the lemon juice, tahini and 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the squash to a platter. Drizzle the tahini sauce over the squash, or serve on the side for dipping. Sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the squash.
