The cylindrical green-and-yellow-striped delicata squash has sweet yellow
flesh. Another option for preparing this recipe is to lightly steam it and then
finish by roasting it in the oven at 350 degrees for about ten minutes. Look for
delicate squash in stores from September to November. This recipe is simple and
quite delicious – nothing says autumn like squash!
