Roasted Delicata Squash Rings
Ingredients:
2 delicata squash, seeds removed and sliced into ½-inch rings
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
Pinch of sea salt
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss squash slices with olive oil and seasonings.
Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.
Nutrition Tip:
Delicata squash is rich in fiber and vitamin A while being naturally lower in carbs than many winter squashes — a gentle win for blood sugar balance.
The fiber and healthy fats from the olive oil help slow digestion and support steadier blood sugar.
The beta-carotene and vitamin A aid immune and eye health.
Chef Tip: No need to peel as it is also edible, and this squash is lower in carbs than lots of other squash so is kinder to your blood sugar.
Diabetic-Friendly Highlight
As a side dish (¼ of the recipe), this fits nicely into a balanced plate.
Pairing with protein (like our lamb meatballs) turns this into a more blood-sugar-stable meal
