Keto Roasted Delicata Squash

Keto Roasted Delicata Squash is a simple keto appetizer best for trips or vacations. This dish contains parmesan and sage. Easy to prepare and full of taste! Its flavor is enhanced when roasted with garlic and parmesan. It goes well with keto green bean casserole and mashed cauliflower. And the standing rib roast is very fantastic. The edible peel is one advantage of this attractively patterned squash. Its skin is more fragile than that of other winter squash, which is actually why it is named “delicata.” Roasting makes it extremely soft, so there’s no need to peel it. Additionally, the skin contains extra minerals and fiber. Delicata squash has just 7.9g of carbs, 3.6g of fiber, and 4.3g of net carbs in this dish.
