Baked Delicata Squash With Lime Butter
"I spotted these colorful squash at a farm stand in Vermont last weekend - I brought them home and scoured the Internet to find out what to do with them! I found the following recipe on whatscookingamerica.net. The squash turned out to be delicious, with delicate, edible skin. The tangy/spicy butter topping complemented the mild squash perfectly."

I love the lime and chili flavor! -
Way too much butter. I think that 1 TBSP would have been fine. Otherwise the taste was really good.

Quick & easy! Tastes great! Will definitely recommend this to everyone! Works great with vegan butter :) -
Nice , different flavour for a squash filling. We liked the lime and chili flavour, but are used to a more substantial filling for squash. the delicata squash itself was very nice mild flavour. Thanks for posting. -
This was really good and I would make again. I had never used delicata squash but it was delicious!
