⁣
Ingredients: ⁣
• 3 delicata squash⁣
• Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling⁣
• Kosher salt⁣
• Freshly cracked black pepper⁣
• 1 tbsp. minced rosemary⁣
• 6 strips thick cut bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces⁣
• 2 tbsp. maple syrup⁣
• 1 tbsp. whole grain mustard⁣
• 1 tbsp. dijon mustard⁣
⁣
Directions: ⁣
• Preheat oven to 425F⁣
• To prep the squash cut it in half then scoop out the inner seeds from both halves. Cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds, discarding the stem and root ends⁣
• Place on a large sheet tray, or 2 medium ones, and liberally drizzle with EVOO, sprinkle with salt, pepper and the minced rosemary. Toss to coat then spread out into a flat, even layer⁣
• Roast for 12 minutes, remove, flip and then roast for another 12-14 minutes or until tender and golden brown⁣
• While the squash roasts make the vinaigrette. Add the diced bacon to a 10-inch nonstick skillet. Bring up to heat over medium and cook until crispy, about 15 minutes⁣
• Using a slotted spoon remove the bacon to a bowl along with 1 tbsp. of the rendered bacon fat. To the bowl add the maple syrup, whole grain and dijon mustard along with freshly cracked black pepper. Mix together⁣
• To serve place the squash onto a shallow platter or bowl then spoon over the vinaigrette | Posted on 17/Nov/2023 22:18:27
