Ingredients

2 honeynut squash (halved and seeded)
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp white miso paste
1 tbsp maple syrup
10 fresh sage leaves
2 tbsp toasted dukkah
sea salt to taste
cracked black pepper

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Place the squash halves cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly season with salt.

Roast for 30-35 minutes until the flesh is tender and caramelized at the edges.

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

Whisk in the white miso paste and maple syrup until emulsified.

Add the sage leaves to the butter for the final 30 seconds of melting until they crisp up.

Remove from heat immediately.

Drizzle the warm miso-brown butter over the roasted squash, ensuring it pools in the cavities.

Finish by sprinkling the aromatic dukkah and the crispy sage leaves generously over the top before serving warm.
