Of all the rich and succulent winter squash varieties, delicata, with its long and uniformly narrow shape, is the easiest to work with. And its thin, pale-golden skin with green striations is more than just pretty — it's edible, too.

Cooks' note:

Squash can be sliced 1 day ahead and chilled in a sealed plastic bag.
