Roasted Delicata Squash with Maple Cinnamon Ghee

You may use any winter squash. Remember to eat the skin! Serves 2 – 4 as a side based on size and number of squashes.

Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 small delicata or 1 medium acorn or butternut squash
  • 1-2 tablespoons Maple Cinnamon Ghee sugar (1 Tbsp. Maple Cinnamon Ghee registers 1 gram sugar)
  • ¼ teaspoon Cayenne pepper (at the most, use less depending on taste)
  • cinnamon and salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Slice the squash in half through the stem and remove the seeds. Lay the flat, cut-side-down on a cutting board, and slice into ½ to 1-inch slices, starting at the stem. Place cut pieces in a big bowl. Melt half the ghee and toss with the squash to evenly coat them.
  • Lay the squash slices out evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Roast for 20 – 40 minutes, turning every 10 minutes until the squash is tender and a fork pierces the flesh easily. If soft enough, you can eat the skin. Baste the rest of melted ghee over the squash and finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and salt to taste.
