- Ingredients
- 2 delicata squashes (about 7 inches long)
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon tamari
- Pinch of cayenne (optional)
- 1 tablespoon water
- Black pepper
- Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Slice squash in circular discs about 1/8 inch thick, leaving seeds.
- In a small bowl mix tahini, tamari, cayenne and water, adding a bit of water to get a creamy consistency.
- In a large bowl, mix squash slices in sauce until each piece is coated.
- Place on a non-stick baking sheet, sprinkle with pepper and place in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Flip pieces and bake another 15 minutes, or until the squash is soft and tender.
- Notes
- To check for softness, remove a couple of beans from your pot and squeeze them between your thumb and index finger. If beans press easily, they are finished. If they feel hard in the middle, they will need more time.
