Some years ago, I came across Delicata squash, and I didn't know you could eat the skin. With less prep on my end, I had to make a roasted one-pan recipe using them. Veggies are super good for you, and roasting them brings out their flavor and sweetness. Come along and make my Roasted Delicata Squash and Cherry Tomatoes Recipe tonight.

Instructions
It is a pretty easy recipe to make. Roasted Delicata Squash and Cherry Tomatoes Recipe can be made during the weeknight rush on Meatless Mondays.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and, while it heats, start prepping the vegetables.
Clean the vegetables and cut the cherry tomatoes in half, and set aside.
Prep the baking sheets (affiliate) by lining them with parchment paper (affiliate) for quick cleanup. You will only need one baking sheet (affiliate).
Then open the delicata squash by cutting off the top and bottom, then cutting it down the middle. Then, with a spoon, remove the seeds and trash them.
Cut the squash into ½-inch-wide slices, then into about 3-inch-long pieces. Then set aside.
Lay the squash pieces and the tomatoes on the lined baking sheet (affiliate)-season with Za'atar (affiliate) seasoning and olive oil (affiliate). Add salt and pepper if you want, or add them after the vegetables are cooked.
Then, add the baking sheet (affiliate) to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Now, turn over and bake for another 10 minutes or until the delicata squash pieces are tender with a fork.
