Ingredients

  • 1 Medium Kabocha Squash (about 3 1/2 lbs)
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp Olive oil
  • Sea salt

For the glaze

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp Maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp Tahini
  • 1 Tbsp Soy sauce
  • 3/4 tsp White miso paste
  • 1/4 tsp Fresh ginger, minced (optional)
  • Chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds. OPTIONAL: slice off the skin (I like to, but it's totally edible so you don't have to)
  • Slice the squash into 3/4 inch thick wedges and toss with the oil.
  • Arrange on an ungreased baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes. Flip each piece and cook until fork tender, another 9-11 minutes.
  • While the squash cooks, whisk all the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • 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
  • Flip the squash and repeat with the rest of the glaze, broiling another 1-2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with cilantro and sesame seeds (if desired) and DEVOUR!
