Delicata Squash Rings with Lemon Sauce
Still eating greasy fried onion rings? Why not try these tasty rings instead? Delicata squash have a similar texture of a French Fry on the inside and a soft ring that you can eat on the outside. Coated with panko crumbs and mixed with some smoked paprika, a little cayenne pepper, and some parsley for garnish and you've got yourself a delicious AND nutritious snack on your hands.

Cannabis Infusion:
- You can go two ways here, you can use your handy-dandy canna flour that's all pre-mixed in your kitchen cabinet and use that in place of your regular flour. The taste (if that bothers you), sometimes bakes out, depending on the strain of cannabis you use. You can also create a similar mixture with the panko bread crumbs. Two great methods.
- The second way is to blend in a little cannabis infused oil of your choice into the garlic-lemon sauce. Mix into the mayonnaise and blend thoroughly and then add the two or more tablespoons of lemon juice and then salt and pepper to taste.
- Third method - DO BOTH and enjoy but be safe. Remember, it's all about micro-dosing and creating a balanced high that is both fun and medicinal. Or maybe you're just ready for the fun only. Either way, you receive the medicinal benefits regardless.

Pay Attention to the Directions:
These little morsels do not need to be infused with cannabis to be a delicious addition to your get-together. If you choose to add a cannabis oil or butter, mix all liquids together first and mix well in your KitchenAide or other choice of blender. I highly recommend the Hamilton Beach Electric Stand Mixer for a more affordable option.
1. MAKE THE DELICATA SQUASH RINGS: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Toss the bread crumbs with the oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper until well combined. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet, stirring with a spoon several times, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a shallow bowl.
2. Whisk together the flour, smoked paprika and cayenne in another shallow bowl, and place the lightly beaten eggs in a third shallow bowl.
3. Cut the squash in half crosswise, scoop out the seeds and slice into ¼-inch rounds (a serrated knife is helpful); season with salt and pepper.
4. Working one at a time, dip the squash rings into the flour mixture, then into the eggs (letting any excess drip off) and then into the bread crumbs, turning and pressing gently to help them adhere. Bake until tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
5. MEANWHILE, MAKE THE LEMON-GARLIC SAUCE: Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice and garlic; season with salt and pepper.
6. Top the delicata squash rings with parsley and serve with the garlic-lemon sauce and lemon wedges.
