Ingredients: (serves 4)

  • 2 delicata squash, 1 to 1 ½ pounds in all 
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

  • 2 tablespoons Tuscan chestnut honey
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

 

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cut off the ends of each squash and split lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Cut each half horizontally into ¾ to 1-inch slices. The slices should resemble half-moons.

Divide the olive oil between 2 sauté pans large enough to hold the squash in a single layer. Heat the pans over high heat until the oil is almost smoking. Brown the squash on both sides until deep golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Transfer the squash to paper towels to drain. While still hot, season with salt and pepper.

Arrange the squash in a single layer in a small baking dish, drizzle with the honey, and dot with the butter. Bake for
15 to 20 minutes to finish cooking the squash and heat through.

Note: The dish can be prepared up to the point of putting the dish in the oven. The squash can sit on the counter for a few hours before baking, while you finish cooking the rest of your meal.
