Ingredients

  • 1 kabocha squash about 3 1/2 lbs, medium
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
For the glaze
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 3/4 teaspoon White miso paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger minced (optional, fresh
  • cilantro optional, for garnish, chopped
  • sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat your oven to 400°F.
  2. Cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Optionally: slice off the skin, it's totally edible so you don't have to.
  3. Slice the squash into 3/4-inch thick wedges and toss with the oil.
  4. Arrange on an ungreased baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes. Flip each piece and cook until fork tender, another 9-11 minutes.
  5. While the squash cooks, whisk all the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl.
  6. Once the squash has cooked, turn the oven to HIGH BROIL. Brush half the glaze over the squash and broil until golden brown, about 1 -2 mins. Watch it closely as it burns quickly.
  7. Flip the squash and repeat with the rest of the glaze, broiling another 1-2 minutes.
  8. Sprinkle with cilantro and sesame seeds (if desired) and DEVOUR!
