Ingredients

1 (2 pound) kabocha squash, peeled, seeds removed, cut into 1" wedges

2 delicata or dumpling squashes, seeds removed, cut into 1" wedges

2 tablespoons olive oil

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

2 Fresno chiles, thinly sliced

3/4 cup red wine vinegar

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons golden raisins, chopped

1 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place kabocha and delicata squash on separate large rimmed baking sheets. Drizzle with oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing occasionally, until squashes are golden brown and tender, 30–35 minutes for kabocha and 20-25 minutes for delicata.
Step 2
Meanwhile, bring chiles, vinegar, honey, raisins, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until syrupy, 8–10 minutes.
Step 3
Brush half of warm agrodolce over warm squash. Transfer to a platter.
Step 4
Just before serving, reheat remaining agrodolce, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen. Spoon over squash.
