Delicata squash is quite a popular form of winter squash and it popping up more and more frequently in grocery stores. A huge benefit is that this squash requires no peeling. The skin becomes tender enough during cooking that it can be eaten right along with the flesh. It’s delicious and makes the perfect side dish for your holiday meals.
