Ingredients

  • 2 Honeynut squashes halved and seeded
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 10 fresh sage leaves
  • 3 tbsp toasted dukkah spice blend
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • flaky sea salt to taste

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Arrange the halved honeynut squashes on a parchment-lined baking sheet, flesh side up.
3
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, swirling constantly until it turns a deep golden brown and smells nutty.
4
Immediately whisk in the white miso and maple syrup until emulsified.
5
Brush the mixture generously over the squash, reserving a small amount for the finish.
6
Roast for 30-35 minutes until the edges are caramelized and the flesh is fork-tender.
7
While roasting, crisp the sage leaves in the remaining brown butter for 30 seconds.
8
To plate, smear a dollop of cool Greek yogurt on the base, top with the warm squash, drizzle with the miso-butter, and garnish heavily with the crispy sage and dukkah for a complex, textural finish.
