Oven Baked Delicata Squash with AF Chili Chunka Sambal

This is crazy easy three ingredient side dish to make. Developed together with our friends at The Minnow.  

Ingredients

1 delicata squash (it should give you about 2 cups of squash)

1- 3 Tbsp AF Chili Chunka Sambal

3 Tbsp extra olive oil

Salt flakes

Method

Preheat oven to 380°F and adjust a rack to the upper third of your oven. Line a sheet pan with parchment, foil or silicon mat. 

Add 1-3 tablespoons of sambal (depending on your spice tolerance) to a medium mixing bowl with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir to mix.

Slice the Delicata in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and pulp from the center. The seeds can be separated and toasted, or discarded with the pulp.

Place the squash halves flat side down and slice into 1/4” crescents, leaving the skin on. Add the sliced delicata to the bowl with the sambal marinade and toss to coat. Lay out flat on your sheet pan, with no overlapping pieces.

Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 10 minutes, then rotate and continue to roast until the squash begins to turn golden brown on the edges, about 5 more minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes.

Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt (flake finishing salt is best!).

Serve and enjoy!
