While I rarely cook with winter squash, I do make an exception for delicata squash because its flavor is milder and I don't have to peel it! If you haven't tried hot honey before, it's amazing on roasted vegetables and meats of all kinds.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3
Scrub delicata squash and pat dry. Cut into 1/2-inch rings. Scoop out seeds from the center of each ring. Toss rings with olive oil and arrange on the baking sheet. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Step 4
Roast in the preheated oven, flipping halfway through, until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Drizzle hot honey over squash.

Cook's Note:

Store any leftover honey in an airtight container at room temperature.

It was better than I expected and the hot honey drizzle is great. However, even though I cut my squash as directed, 1/2” slices, 30 minutes is too long! I reduced oven temp to 400 after 10 minutes and only cooked 5 minutes after flipping each slice. A little overdone still. But good !!!
