Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 medium Delicata squash, washed and sliced into 1/4 inch half-moons
  • 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into even sticks
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Protein

  • 4 slices smoky turkey bacon

Oils and Sauces

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Spices and Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper (natural), to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Squash and Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dry the Delicata squash; no peeling is needed. Slice into approximately 1/4 inch thick half-moons. Peel the russet potatoes and cut into evenly sized sticks to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Season the Vegetables: Place the squash and potato fries separately into mixing bowls. Drizzle olive oil (natural) over each, then sprinkle smoked paprika (natural), garlic powder (natural), salt, and black pepper (natural) on them. Toss well to coat each piece lightly with the spices and oil.
  3. Cook the Turkey Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoky turkey bacon until crispy. In the last moments of cooking, sprinkle a little vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) over the bacon to enhance flavor and glaze. Chop the cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  4. Roast the Squash and Fries: Spread the squash slices and potato fries on separate parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them evenly. Bake the fries for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispness. Roast the squash for 18-22 minutes, keeping a close watch to avoid overcooking.
  5. Combine and Serve: Once both squash and fries are golden and tender, transfer to a large serving dish. Sprinkle the crispy turkey bacon pieces and fresh parsley on top. Serve warm for optimum flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Cut fries and squash into uniform sizes to ensure consistent cooking.
  • Always preheat the oven fully to achieve crisp fries and perfectly roasted squash.
  • Avoid overcrowding baking sheets to promote even roasting and crispness.
  • Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Add cooked turkey bacon at the end to maintain its crisp texture.
