Happy Halloween and Happy Harvest
I received these beautiful yellow and green striped delicata winter squashes and pomegranates in my Fall CSA basket. The delicata are petite winter squash that can be used to make perfect little rings to roast and caramelize. The pomegranates are a tangy sweet addition that look gorgeous next to the orange and yellow rings. What a lovely addition to a Halloween dinner and to a virtual party at Fiesta Friday.

A nice way to cut the squash, looks so pretty! Is the skin edible after baking?

I did eat the skin because these were newly picked and small so the skin was edible. I think the texture will toughen over time. In general vegetable skins have the most nutrition and antioxidants. For example, I never peel carrots or beets.

I love Delicata squash, it used to be really hard to find. It was a revelation for me when I realized the skin didn’t need peeling (very tricky to peel).
