Miso Glazed Squash

Delicata squash is a fall and winter favorite for good reason—its thin, edible skin doesn’t need to be peeled, making it one of the easiest squashes to work with! In this simple sheet-pan recipe, the squash is sliced, roasted until tender, and coated with a garlicky, sticky-sweet miso glaze that caramelizes beautifully in the oven. Finished with nutty sesame seeds and fresh green onions, it’s a flavor-packed, umami-rich seasonal side dish that’s as easy to make as it is delicious.
