Ingredients

2 Honeynut squashes halved and seeded
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon white miso paste
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 tablespoons chili crisp oil
1/4 cup toasted salted pepitas
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place squash halves cut-side up, brush lightly with oil, and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.

While the squash roasts, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it turns a deep golden brown and smells nutty.

Immediately whisk in the miso paste and maple syrup until emulsified into a glossy glaze.

Remove squash from the oven, brush generously with the miso-brown butter mixture, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.

Remove and finish by drizzling with chili crisp, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and a generous sprinkle of toasted pepitas for the perfect textural contrast.
