Roasted Delicata with Red Chili & Lime Butter

 

2 delicata squash, 1 1/2 pounds

3 tablespoons soft unsalted butter

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon chili powder

salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut each squash in half lengthwise and scrape out

seeds. Place cut side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish and add water to a depth

of about 1/4 inch. Bake until squash is tender when pierced, about 20 minutes.

In a small bowl, blend butter, lime juice and chili powder. Season to taste with

salt and pepper. Spoon butter mixture into the squash cavities and serve hot.

Serves 4.
