Notes
*Cook times are with an Instant Vortex Pro on the lower rack.
The skin of delicata squash is tender and safe to eat after roasting. For an even better bite, you can peel alternating strips on the squash before slicing, but it's not necessary.
This recipe was adapted from a delicata squash donuts recipe from Joshua McFadden's cookbook, Six Seasons.
