Roasted Delicata Squash with Wheatberries, Pickled Red Onion, and Fresh Ricotta

Roasted Delicata Squash with Wheatberries, Pickled Red Onion, and Fresh Ricotta

This dish is the perfect nod to the mingling seasons; lively mint and red onion with nutty squash and bright ricotta. Roasting this thin-skinned squash is a great way to make the entire veggie edible. Give the squash a poke with a fork or cake tester - when there is no longer resistance, you'll have a perfectly finished product

Instructions

cook wheatberries
1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium pot, bring the wheatberries, 3 cups water, and a large pinch of salt to a boil. Cook for 30-35 minutes, until tender. Drain.

2

Halve the delicata squash lengthwise, then remove and discard the seeds with a spoon. Slice the squash lengthwise into 1/2-inch half-moons. Toss the squash on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place in the oven for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until golden brown and tender.

marinate onions
3

Marinate the onion: Halve, peel, and thinly slice the ½ cup red onion (to taste). Finely chop the mint leaves. In a large bowl, toss together the onion, red wine vinegar, oregano, and chili flakes (to taste, we used 1/4 teaspoon).

Mix ricotta
4

Zest and halve the lemon. In a small bowl, mix together the lemon zest, ricotta, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

add wheatberries
5

Toss the drained wheatberries and half the mint into the bowl with the marinated red onion along with a large drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

6

Plate the wheatberry mixture, then top with the roasted squash and dollop with ricotta. Sprinkle with the remaining mint and enjoy!
