Roasted Delicata Squash with Maple + Crispy Sage

This week I am beginning to think about Thanksgiving and all the wonderful things I want to make--my favorite mashed potatoes, carrot souffles, sautéed haricots verts, homemade rolls, pies, etc.  I bet many of you are thinking of similar things too!

I am planning on adding this gluten-free side dish to our meal this year to mix things up a bit and add some nice color. Roasted delicata squash (which truly reflects its name and is delicate indeed) melds nicely with a French spice mix, a little maple syrup, lots of crispy sage and nutty Parmigiano-Reggiano to compliment the sweetness.  I am sharing my recipe here.

And while we are on the subject, what fun things are you making for Thanksgiving?  What are your go-to dishes?
