Let’s Make it together

Prepare Your Squash: First things first, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While that’s heating up, slice your delicata squash into rings about half an inch thick. You can leave the skin on since it’s edible and adds texture.

Create Miso Butter Bliss: In a small bowl, mix melted unsalted butter with white miso paste and maple syrup until smooth. The combination should have an irresistible aroma that makes you want to dive right in!

Toss it All Together: Place your squash rings in a large bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste before pouring your miso butter mixture over them. Toss gently until each ring is well-coated—this is where the fun begins!

Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the coated rings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking while allowing those rings to crisp up beautifully.

Bake Until Golden Brown: Pop them in your preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and tender! You’ll know they’re ready when they smell so good it feels like they’re calling your name.

Serve and Enjoy!: Once out of the oven, let them cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle with fresh herbs if using, then dig in! Trust me; these will disappear faster than you can say “Miso Butter Delicata Rings.” For more inspiration, check out this fresh herbed tuna salad recipe.
