Delicata squash can be cooked in the microwave in less than 10 minutes, and there's barely any prep because you don't need to peel it! Add it to a salad or grain bowl, or eat it as a side dish. Vary the dressing to suit whatever you are serving it with.

½ cup vegetable broth
1 pinch salt to taste

Dressing:

1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce

Place delicata squash halves, cut-sides down, in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour in vegetable broth, season with salt, and cover with a lid.
