Delicata is the golden child of squash; it’s tender, sweet, creamy, and best of all, you don’t have to peel it; you can eat the skin. I’ve been using this water bath/tinfoil method to cook delicata for as long as I can remember…way before the internet told us how to cook things. I think it brings out the most flavor without adding a ton of (vegan) butter. Five-spice is a perfect blend for squash; star anise, cinnamon and uh, three other spices, I suppose. It just brings out the best.
