  • 2 honeynut squashes halved and seeded
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 10 fresh sage leaves

  • flaky sea salt to taste

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Place the halved honeynut squashes flesh-side up on a parchment-lined sheet pan, seasoning lightly with salt.
3
Roast for 25-30 minutes until the edges are golden and the flesh is fork-tender.

While roasting, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling constantly until it turns a deep amber color and smells nutty.

Remove from heat immediately, whisking in the white miso paste and maple syrup until emulsified.

Drop the sage leaves into the hot brown butter for 10 seconds to crisp up.
7
Drizzle the warm miso-brown butter over the roasted squash, garnish with the crispy sage leaves and toasted pumpkin seeds, and serve immediately for a perfect contrast of textures.
