Are you familiar with delicata squash? Also called sweet dumpling squash, this winter squash, which is cousin to butternut squash, has a sweet, velvety flesh that tastes amazing when roasted and caramelised in the oven. In this recipe, delicata squash is roasted with cumin seeds and and served with a tangy apple cider vinaigrette, and topped with crunchy almonds, parsley for a pop of color and freshness, and crumbled feta (optional, but delicious!). It makes a terrific side dish, or a light lunch for for two.<\/p>\n

Sweet dumpling squash \u2014 a farmers market gem<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve never tried sweet dumpling squash before, get ready to fall in love! Although, I haven\u2019t seen this winter squash all that often here in Hamburg, if you have the chance to pick it up at your weekly farmers market definitely do so! I was lucky enough to have it arrive in my farmers box delivery<\/a> which from time to time has gems like this. Of the winter squashes, it is definitely my favourite. The name \u201csweet dumpling squash\u201d describes it beautifully. It has a sweet flesh, which is enhanced by roasting it and thanks to its small size and edible skin it\u2019s easy to work with.<\/p>\n

Substitutes for delicata squash \u201csweet dumpling\u201d<\/h2>\n
