Mmm MMM! This beautiful dish is heavenly (and I’m not just talkin’ about the taste). It’s so easy to make! It might very well be the easiest & quickest squash recipe on earth 
This recipe also uses lime rice (or if you want to impress people, call it lime ‘pilaf’) which is a rockin’ recipe all on its own. Add lime rice into your favorite Mexican dishes for a “wow” effect.

I’ve never had delicata squash, how it taste? like other squash?
Great easy/quick recipe!
this sounds SO good. i love lime in my rice and i also love delicata squash, so… great combo!
This looks great! It reminds me of the Hello Veggie Stuffed Zuke! I love a good recipe with a vegetable boat! I’ll try this soon. Yum!
Coco, Delicata squash as a sweet, nutty flavor - a cross between a sweet potato and butternut is my closest description. It’s very good.
Love it!! Especially since it’s so yellow (my favorite color)
Oooh, sounds yummy!! I don’t think I ever knew what those particular squashies were called before.
Lime pilaf?! How delicious! And you’re right, those stuffed squash look great.
I’ve never had a delicata squash before but this recipe will make me get one ASAP! It sounds so delicious.
Stuffed squash is one of my most favorite meals
I’ve never actually had delicata though!
This dish is so pretty and vibrant!
Wow! I cant believe I just found your amazing blog! We have a really similar approach to food (no processed, no cans, I stay away from faux meat, flour, tofu..etc). Plus, I have a pug! Your pugs are so adorable, we want to get a black one but Ginger is so spoiled I couldn’t give her a sister..hehe!
You food looks amazing! I can’t wait to try some of your recipes! Check out my blog as well!
that looks SO DELICIOUS. i have never made a recipe with squash before…
I still haven’t tried delicata squash, but this looks like a great use of them. They keep calling to me at the Whole Foods.
Gorgeous dish! Your recipe creativity is just amazing.
I will definitely get a delicata squash when i’m at the grocery store. i love squash, but i’ve only had butternut and spaghetti (my all time fav).
i’m all about these teriyaki chickpeas!!!
Beautiful presentation! This reminds me that I need to eat more squash before the season ends!
That picture is gorgeous!
Hi Lindsay,
I made the delicata squash recipe last night. It was my first time to try delicata squash. I loved it and the lime rice was really good. I posted photos on my blog. Thanks for sharing.
