Squash baked with thyme, plenty of thyme, and rosemary oil. Here come the pumpkins, soon to arrive on our tables and in our kitchens to delight us with their intense and creamy flavor. Rich in fiber and vitamin A, although quite sweet, squash is a low-calorie and truly versatile vegetable; you can consume the flowers, pulp, seeds, and even the marinated skin. It’s also fun as a container for serving risotto when hollowed out. When left whole, it keeps for at least 6 months from harvest.

Once cooked, do you remove the skin from the delica squash?
I personally don’t remove it; in fact, I eat it because it’s very tender when cooked and very good.
