Baked Delicata Squash With Lime Butter


I spotted these colorful squash at a farm stand in vermont last weekend - i brought them home and scoured the internet to find out what to do with them! i found the following recipe on whatscookingamerica.net. the squash turned out to be delicious, with delicate, edible skin. the tangy/spicy butter topping complemented the mild squash perfectly.
