Ingredients

Scale

Produce

  • 1 medium Delicata squash
  • 3 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Pantry

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a hot environment for roasting. Thoroughly wash the Delicata squash and russet potatoes.
  2. Slice the Delicata Squash: Cut the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, then slice into ½-inch thick half-moons. Leave the tender skin on.
  3. Cut the Potatoes into Fries: Peel if desired, then cut russet potatoes into ½-inch thick sticks, keeping sizes uniform for even cooking.
  4. Season and Toss: In a large bowl, combine squash slices and potato fries. Drizzle olive oil; sprinkle smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper; add vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Toss well to coat evenly.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the squash and fries in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring pieces aren’t crowded for proper roasting.
  6. Roast to Perfection: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through. The squash should be tender with caramelized edges and fries golden and crispy.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, and serve warm for a comforting and nutritious meal.

Notes

  • Cut evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan to help fries crisp properly.
  • Pat potatoes dry before seasoning to remove excess moisture.
  • Roast at high heat for best caramelization and crunch.
  • Adjust spices to your taste preferences.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven at 400°F (205°C) for 8-10 minutes to maintain crispiness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
  • This dish is best enjoyed fresh; it does not freeze well.
