Recipe for Delicata Squash with Fresh Rosemary

Recipe for Delicata Squash – Let me take a moment to admit that before I made this savory and satisfying recipe for Delicata Squash, I had never used this type of squash before. Not one time.

Then, I come home and pair the seasonal vegetable with herbs from my garden and either roast or saute. Next, I make the recipe over and over again. Get my entire family to weigh it on it. Then, BOOM! I add it here for all to enjoy.
