Ingredients
- 1 (5-pound) kabocha squash halved and roasted
- ¼ cup unsalted butter or full-fat canned coconut milk + more for serving
- 2 to 3 Tbsp honey or brown sugar or pure maple syrup, to taste
- 2 Tbsp whisky optional
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon to taste
- Pinch ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut the kabocha squash in half and scoop out the innards and seeds. Drizzle with olive oil, sea salt and cinnamon and place cut-side down on a baking sheet.
- Bake on the center rack of the oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until flesh is very soft when poked with a fork.
- Once squash is cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Add the coconut milk, honey, cinnamon, and sea salt. Mash and stir until everything is well combined. Taste kabocha squash for flavor. Add more cinnamon, sea salt, and/or honey to taste.
- Serve with additional coconut milk, pumpkin seeds, and pecans
