How to Cook Delicata Squash on Stove

Preparation time: 5 minutes; Cooking time: 35 minutes; Total time: 40 minutes; Servings: 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium delicata squash
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp parmesan cheese freshly grated

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the squash by washing it with cold water to get rid of dirt. Pat the squash dry using a kitchen towel.
  • With the help of a sharp knife, trim the two edges to create a flat surface. Now cut the squash lengthwise in half. Using a spoon, scoop the seeds. You can either discard them or save them for roasting later.
  • Place the half squash on a cutting board (cut side down). Using a sharp knife, slice the squash lengthwise into half-inch slices. The slices will look like half-moons.
  • Place a skillet over medium heat. Once it heats up, carefully place the delicate squash slices on the skillet.
  • Place the slices on a baking tray. Drizzle olive oil on top and brush it to cover the slices completely. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
  • Let them cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until they get a beautiful golden brown color.
  • Flip the slices to cook on the other side as well.
  • Once done, take the squash slices out of the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate. Sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese on top and Serve!
