Equipment

1 to 2 sheet pans

Ingredients

1 to 2 whole delicata squash preferably organic
2 tablespoons avocado oil , extra-virgin olive oil, or solid natural fat, melted; use up to 1/4 cup oil if you have 2 large squash

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit.
Place 1 to 2 delicata squash in oven whole, on a baking sheet or even directly on the baking rack. Bake 25 minutes.
Remove whole squash carefully, using hot pad. Place on cutting board and slice in half length-wise. Scoop out seeds. Cut into 1/3" thick slices.
Place fat (or melted solid fat) onto baking sheet(s). Flip and coat each slice in fat. Spread out evenly on baking sheet(s), in a single layer. Bake 15 to 25 minutes, until bottom sides are golden brown.
Flip each 1/2-ring over. Bake additional 15 to 20 minutes, depending on oven/how dark they are, until squash is browned perfectly on both sides. Watch closely in case your cooking time is slightly less, to prevent burning.
