I rarely cook with winter squash, but roasted delicata squash with hot honey is an exception because of its mild flavor and the fact that you don't need to peel it! Hot honey is amazing on roasted vegetables and meats.

Ingredients

0.25 cup honey
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon dried thyme
0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 pinch salt
1 delicata squash
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste
0.5 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Combine honey, vinegar, red pepper flakes, thyme, smoked paprika, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Let cool for about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Scrub the delicata squash and pat it dry. Cut into ½-inch rings and scoop out the seeds. Toss the rings with olive oil and arrange them on the baking sheet. Season with ½ teaspoon of salt.
Roast in the preheated oven, flipping halfway through, until the squash is golden brown, approximately 30 minutes. Drizzle the hot honey over the roasted squash and serve.
