How to make Cheesy Delicata Squash and Kale Casserole

Preheat oven to 232°C. Bring vinegar and 80ml water to a simmer in a small pot. Remove from heat. Add raisins, cover, and let sit until ready to use.

Divide squash, thyme, and garlic between 2 rimmed baking sheets; arrange in a single layer. Toss with 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Roast 12 minutes. Toss, then add hazelnuts to 1 section of 1 sheet. Continue to roast until hazelnuts are toasted and browned and squash is tender and cooked through, about 6 minutes more.

Whisk ricotta and cream in a medium bowl until smooth. Add 170g mozzarella, 3/4 teaspoons salt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoons pepper and whisk to combine. Remove thyme leaves from stems and add to cheese mixture. Coarsely chop garlic, add to cheese mixture, and stir to combine.

Transfer hazelnuts to a large bowl. Add panko, 2 tablespoons oil, and remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt and toss to combine. Set aside 1/4 cup panko mixture.

Drain raisins. Add kale, squash, and raisins to remaining panko mixture in large bowl and toss to combine.

Grease 2-qt. baking dish with oil. Add half of squash mixture, then dollop with half of cheese mixture. Top with remaining squash mixture, then dollop with remaining cheese mixture. Top with remaining 60g mozzarella and reserved 40g panko.

Bake casserole until mozzarella is melted and browned in spots and edges are bubbling, 12–15 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
