Roasted Delicata Squash Fries - A Simple Winter Squash Recipe (2024)

Fresh from the oven, warm Delicata Squash Fries are the BEST! This roasted winter squash recipe is super easy and only requires 3 ingredients!

I absolutely love eating seasonally for two reasons, one because it’s cheaper, and secondly, it makes it more exciting to anticipate the coming seasonal harvest.

These roasted delicata squash fries are a simple way to enjoy this seasonal vegetable and something to look forward to each year as fall arrives.

So without further ado, let’s get to it!

Delicata Squash Fries Ingredients

• Delicata squash
• Olive oil – or use your favorite neutral flavored oil
• Sea salt (or mineral salt)
• Sriracha, or condiment of choice

How To Prep & Cut Delicata Squash

Scrub and dry your squash. Trim ends off. Cut squash in half lengthwise, scrap out seeds and cut into 1/4 – 1/2 inch thick slices.

Don’t throw those seeds away! You can roast them for a delicious crunchy snack with this recipe for Roasted Pumpkin Seeds.

How To Roast Delicata Squash Fries

Roast your squash 1 of 2 ways:

1. Oven: Place squash on an unlined baking sheet and and bake for 10 minutes at 500 degrees. Flip squash over and bake another 8 – 10 minutes, or until both sides are nicely browned (your oven may vary). Tip: I find my squash browns best without using a liner on the baking sheet.
2. Broiler: This method is a little quicker but you’ll want to watch them so they don’t burn. Cook squash under the broiler for about 6 minutes. Flip and bake another 2 – 4 minutes, or until both sides are nicely browned. Once you flip is when you ned to keep an eye on them. This method may take 2 or 3 batches to complete depending on the size of your broiler.

And yes, just in case your wondering, you can eat the skin too!

How To Serve Squash Fries

Delicata squash fries can be served alone, as a mono meal or snack. They go great with a sandwich, veggie burger or maybe a simple tomato soup. You may even find me topping them on a bed of quinoa, adding a drizzle of sriracha over top. :)

I have my roasted squash fries simply salted and served with the ever wonderful and highly addicting sriracha. If you don’t like heat you can just as well serve this with any kind of ketchup, especially a curry ketchup! You may also opt to try it with this creamy Aioli or Cashew Sriracha Cream Sauce. The simple flavor of the squash pairs well with a robust flavored condiment.
