Crispy and soft,  ancho chile roasted delicata squash topped with goat cheese crumbles, pomegranate arils and crispy fried sage is a holiday dish like no other! A perfect side to your Thanksgiving or Christmas holiday dinner table, this Roasted Delicata Squash with Goat Cheese and Pomegranate has something for everyone!

Roasted Delicata Squash with Goat Cheese and Pomegranate

There are some food combinations, that I just stumble upon when experimenting in the kitchen, or do some research to pair food combos or sometimes, I eat something like that at a restaurant and I love it so much, that I try to replicate the combination in various other recipes.

Squash and goat cheese is one such combination that I am seriously so much in love with. The sweetness of the squash with the light and mellow tang in the goat cheese works wonders together. I always add some crunch element to the dish to balance out the textures a little.

Here the pomegranate adds that textural difference while having a burst of tanginess and freshness to itself. The crispy fried sage adds some visual contrast as well!

I have tried the squash and goat cheese combo in this Butternut Squash Galette with Goat Cheese Crumbles and is a favorite at our holiday table every year.

The delicata squash roasted with ancho chiles is a great snack in itself. Ancho chile is a very mild chile with a lots of sweet and smoky flavor to it, so it is not spicy at all and works great with the squash. I have used it earlier to top a Rainbow Orzo with Roasted Delicata Squash.
