If you are a scones fanatic like we are, you will want to sink your teeth into all of my tasty gluten free scones recipes!

I found a beautiful delicata squash at my local farmer's market yesterday. Delicata squash is a sweet delicious squash that is delicious to use in baking! Just check out this recipe for Delicata Squash Brownies!!

What is delicata squash?

Delicata squash is just starting to hit the markets. It is a long yellow oval-shaped winter squash with beautiful dark green stripes and an orange flesh. They are the yellow squash in the photo above :-).

I was surprised to read that this variety of squash is as high in beta-carotene as other winter squashes. It is, however, a great source of fiber and potassium, making it a healthy addition to your cooking. Delicata squash has such a mild, sweet flavor, and I suspected this vegetable would be incredible in a savory gluten free scone.

If you have been following my blog for a while, you know I love to hide vegetables in my baking, like in this sweet Gluten Free Butternut Squash Breakfast Bread. Up until recently, my kids have been none the wiser to this. As they get older, they seem to have special vegetable detection powers...much to my dismay.

For this recipe, I decided to use organic cornmeal as the main flour in this gluten free cornmeal scone recipe. I worry about GMOs with corn so I make sure cornmeal is organic...It is worth it because the sweetness from the cornmeal blends beautifully with the delicata squash.

How to cook delicata squash:

Roast delicata squash with some olive oil in the oven.

Sauté delicata squash in a pan with olive oil.

If you are in a hurry, you can also cook delicata squash in a microwave by cutting the squash in half. Remove the seeds and place face down on a microwave-safe dish. Add a little water and microwave for 5-8 minutes.

Delicata squash cooks up very easily in just a little bit of olive oil. Once they are tender, they can be used in lots of different recipes. I love to eat sauteed delicata squash!

Can you roast it in the oven?

You can definitely cook the delicata squash in the oven. Roast it at 350 degrees for 30 minutes if sliced, 45 minutes if you just cut the squash in half lengthwise to roast.
