Ingredients

2 Honeynut squash halved and seeded
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp white miso paste
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup fresh sage leaves
1/3 cup pomegranate arils
2 tbsp toasted pumpkin seeds
1/2 tsp flaky sea salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Place the halved squash on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cut side up, and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.

While the squash roasts, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to foam and turn golden brown.

Remove from heat immediately, whisking in the white miso and maple syrup until a glossy, emulsified glaze forms.

In the same pan, flash-fry the sage leaves in the residual heat until crisp.

Drizzle the miso-brown butter glaze generously over the warm squash, ensuring it pools in the center.

Finally, garnish with the crispy sage, vibrant pomegranate arils, and toasted pumpkin seeds for a sophisticated crunch.
