What is Delicata Squash?
Squash can generally be broken into two groups – summer squash and winter squash. The main difference between the two is their skin – summer squash has a thin skin and winter squash has a thick, tough skin. Then, there’s delicata squash. Delicata squash belongs to the winter squash family, but has a delicate skin (see where the name comes from?) that you can easily slice through AND that is edible. I think for this very reason alone, delicata squash is my favorite winter squash. When you make stuffed delicata squash, it’s super easy to prepare and to eat – no scooping of squash out of its skin, just slice and eat. Plus, it’s a really pretty squash.
Hi, I was wondering if this would be a tasteful with gluten free bread. As it has a sweeter taste than regular breads.
This looks absolutely delicious and I would love to make this for our dinner, however,
I do need to look at a gluten sensitive person who would be dining with us.
Thanks, love your recipes.
Hi Shari. I don’t cook with gluten free bread or flour very often, but I think if you like the taste of gluten free bread, I think it would work fine for this recipe. You could also substitute the bread out and use rice or wild rice.
I made this tonight for dinner and it is delicious! So filling and easy to make with lots of flavor. Wow, thank you for this recipe.
