Ingredients

  • 2 Honeynut squash
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp chili crisp oil
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • pinch of flaky sea salt

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Slice the honeynut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds; leave the skins on as they are thin and edible.
3
Place squash cut-side up on a parchment-lined tray.
4
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam and turn a nutty golden-brown color.
5
Immediately whisk in the miso paste and maple syrup until emulsified.
6
Brush this mixture generously over the squash flesh and roast for 25-30 minutes until the edges are caramelized and the centers are fork-tender.
7
Once out of the oven, drizzle immediately with chili crisp oil.
8
Finish by sprinkling toasted sesame seeds and fresh cilantro over the top for a vibrant, aromatic crunch.
