Roasting intensifies delicata squash's flavor. Seasoned with rosemary and maple, this recipe's great with pork or turkey.

Great! I only had 1 delicata ... and I followed recipe as described(using an entire red onion with just 1 squash) which didn't matter a bit. Also, I think I got carried away with my fresh rosemary but it was delicious...I will use this recipe again!

First time trying delicata squash. Loved finding out the skin is edible! I made the recipe in half and decided to used honey instead of syrup and baked at 400 degrees for 40. I also tossed the dressing on the squash at the beginning and roasted it all together. Can’t stop thinking about how delicious this recipe is.

Just made this for the first time, just ate my first portion. It was great! I did subsititute dried for fresh rosemary because, well I didn't have any - but this recipe was extremely easy and extremely tasty!

Tasty, no fuss recipe for delicata squash
I was looking for other ways to cook up some delicata squash that I had on hand when I came across this recipe. It makes a perfect side. It uses readily available ingredients and requires little prep time. I used about a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar instead of mustard because I was out of mustard, so will try it next time with the Dijon as called for. This seems to be a versatile recipe, I can see trying it with different herbs and spices. A curry might go well to complement an Indian meal. This is a new go-to recipe in our house!
Pros: Quick and easy, taste good, healthy, family friendly
Cons: None

After sampling delicata squash while on vacation, I was looking forward to preparing it at home. I was able to locate the squash at Sprouts and prepared it using this recipe. WOW!!!! It was fabulous. The flavor and texture of the squash is smooth and creamy which complements the caramelized onions and the maple syrup knocked it out to the park. Looking forward to making this again. Yum!

Yum!
Love this. Never had a delicata before and was surprised and impressed that the skin was edible. Makes prep a whole lot easier. One night, hubby was making his famous stir fried rice for dinner, and I prepared this using five spice powder and a few sesame seeds instead of the Rosemary and maple (used the mustard)
Pros: easy
Cons: none

Seasoning (particularly mustard) overwhelmed the delicate Delicata.
If I were to try this again, I'd lower the temperature to 375-¦ - 400-¦, cut the onion a bit thicker and perhaps substitute lemon juice & zest for the mustard.
Pros: Relatively quick and easy
Cons: Heat too high, mustard too strong a taste.
