Calories
752Ingredients
For the Squash:
- 2 delicata squash
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. dried sage
- 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
For the Optional Garnish:
- 1/2 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 Tbs. vegan grated Parmesan or nutritional yeast
- 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
Preparation
- Slice off one end of the squash and using a long spoon or melonballer, dig out all the seeds and stringy parts. Cut the squash cross-wise into 1/2 inch rounds. They will look like flowers.
- Season the squash rings with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sage. Heat a large skillet with the oil over medium-high heat. Add the squash rings and cook about 4 minutes or until they are golden and crisp. Turn them over to cook on the other side for about 4 more minutes or until they are fork-tender.
- Transfer the rings to a paper-towel lined plate. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to cook the squash in batches. Arrange the rings on a platter and garnish with parsley. Serve while hot.
- If you want to use the optional garnish: mix the breadcrumbs, grated parm (or nutritional yeast) and oil in a small bowl. Toast the mixture in a small skillet over medium heat until just golden. Move the crumbs around a lot and don’t let them burn. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle over the cooked squash rings before adding the parsley. Serve while hot.

AUTHOR & RECIPE DETAILS
When Rhea became vegan, there were no places in her Bronx neighborhood to eat so she had to learn to cook, mostly by watching TV cooking shows, especially Christina Pirello and Rachael Ray. That led to the creation of The "V" Word website which focuses on vegan versions of favorite, familiar foods. Rhea has written several e-cookbooks which are available on her web site. It is Rhea's hope that she can spread the "V" Word to bring more compassion into the world and it is her dream to become the vegan Rachael Ray.
