The perfect fall breakfast you didn’t know you needed.
Have you ever tried papaya boats? Well that’s where my inspiration for these babies came from. I LOVE papaya boats in the summer so I decided to make a fall version of one of my “luxurious” summer breakfast fav. This might seem like an odd pairing if you’ve never tried squash and yogurt before, but I promise you won’t be disappointed!
Squash is such a fall staple. One of the reasons that I love delicata is because you don’t have to peel it! Ya, you heard me – you can eat the skin! And no, it doesn’t have a weird texture, it’s actually really delicious. Overall, delicata squash has a naturally sweet flavour and that’s why it works so well in this dish!
Delicata is a winter squash, but it’s the family as yellow summer squash and zucchini. It’s also a source of potassium and fiber, and contains magnesium, manganese, and vitamin B and C.
Need I say more? Let’s get into the recipe….
