And they were DEEEE-licious! \u00a0OK, so i have to tell you…my sister’s boyfriend, Mark, made a version of these for us when we went up to visit at his lakeside home in the fall. \u00a0They were so yummy! \u00a0And I have been meaning to make a batch but just hadn’t gotten around to it. \u00a0So when I asked Robert to pick from these squash in our pantry…I really didn’t think this would be his choice. \u00a0(I really thought he was going to ask for the pumpkin with stew baked in it.)<\/p>\n

Now, you probably have heard me mention once or twice (or more!) how much I love Butternut squash… \ud83d\ude09 \u00a0But these Delicata squash are a very close contender in my estimation.<\/p>\n

Delicata <\/a>are smaller than most other winter squashes. Their skin is also much thinner (think like a baked apple skin). \u00a0Making them super-easy to clean and cut—no peeling involved! \u00a0 These fries fit so well into our healthy but oh-so-yummy POV, don\u2019t you think? \u00a0Here is some additional nutritional info<\/a> about Delicata squash.<\/p>\n

Now, remember do NOT peel these Delicata squash…the skin is totally edible!!! \u00a0I hope you will give them a try. \u00a0Enjoy!<\/p>\n
