Delicata squash is a beautiful autumn side dish that is easy to prepare. Unlike most squash, the skin of a delicata can be left on and roasted. These tender slices of squash cook until their natural sugars caramelize, giving the finished dish a pleasant sweetness which pairs well with the tangy cheese and salty sunflower seeds. Add a tablespoon of freshly minced herbs for vibrancy, color, and an additional layer of flavor if desired.
