Sheet pan dinners are all the rage, and for good reason—they cut down on time in the kitchen and cleanup. We also love the scents of the squash and pork roasting together. Delicata is another of our favorite time-savers, as the squash’s delicate skin requires no peeling. While the pork and squash roast, our easy chutney simmers on the stove and helps bring the flavors together.

1

Prep and cook the squash and pork

Heat the oven to 400ºF.
  • Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Cut the halves into ½-inch-thick half-moons. In a medium bowl, toss the squash with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Pat the pork dry with a paper towel; rub all over with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
On a sheet pan, spread the squash in an even layer on one end and put the pork on the other end. Roast, stirring the squash and turning the pork halfway through, until the squash is tender and the pork is cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes.
While the squash and pork roast, prepare the chutney.

Prep the chutney ingredients

  • Cut the pear into quarters, cut away the core, then cut the fruit into ½-inch pieces.
  • Peel and thinly slice the shallot.
  • Grate or peel and finely chop the ginger.
  • Pull the dates away from their pits; thinly slice the dates.
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro.
  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves. Set aside for garnish.

Cook the chutney

In a small sauce pot over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon butter or oil. Add the pears and shallot, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pears start to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the ginger and as much Urfa chile as you like and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the chutney seasoning, dates, and ¼ cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro.

Serve

Transfer the squash and pork to individual plates. Garnish the squash with the parsley, top the pork with the chutney, and serve.
