Slice delicata as thinly as you can, toss it in the steamer and you have an almost instant side dish. We like it tossed with dried cranberries, apricots and sliced almonds, but try it with any dried fruit and nuts you have on hand.

I added some sliced firm apples and steamed them with the squash. Other than that, I followed the recipe. I took it to a pot luck and it was all gone!

Easy to make. Very tasty! Forgot the almonds. Had them on the table - but forgot them. Will try them on the leftovers tomorrow.
