Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium Delicata squash (about 1 pound)
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 can (15 oz) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (divided)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice the delicata squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Cut into half-moons about 1 inch thick.
  3. In a bowl, drizzle the squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  4. Spread the squash on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and fork-tender.
  5. While roasting, heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant, then add spinach and cook until wilted (2-3 minutes).
  6. Stir in the rinsed white beans until heated through.
  7. Combine roasted squash with the spinach-bean mixture in the skillet. If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan before serving warm.
