Roasted until caramelized and golden on the edges then drizzled with a tahini maple dijon sauce that’s the perfect balance of sweet and savory, this simple side dish is the definition of flavorful seasonal eating!

It seems as if every year recently, more and more “fun” varieties are popping up too. Or, at least becoming more ubiquitous in stores.

Caramelized

There were two bins of these fun speckled guys at my natural foods store last week and before even reading the sign to see what they were called, I had two in my cart.

Dumpling squashes are also similar in appearance to carnival squash but those tend to be smaller and predominately orange and yellow in color.

With ridged squash like this it can be incredibly hard to peel the skin. It’s one of the main reasons I’ve never been a huge fan of acorn squash.

I find them incredibly addicting and can easily eat an entire tray of them myself! In fact, I did exactly that with these roasted delicata squash seeds.

Start by preheating the oven to 400°F. I always use my convection roast setting when roasting squash and encourage you to do the same if your oven is equipped with it.

Half and seed the sweet dumpling squash then cut into wedges about 1/3″ thick. Try to keep them uniform in size as much as possible for even cooking times.

Place the squash wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and drizzle the avocado oil over top. Toss the squash together with your hands to fully coat each piece with the oil.

Clean the outside of the squash well and poke a few holes in the exterior with a fork or knife. Wrap the squash in a paper towel and microwave on high for 5-8 minutes until soft and tender.

Cut the squash into quarters (removing the seeds) and place in a steaming basket. Steam until fork tender and use as desired.
