Ingredients

2 medium acorn squash
3 tbsp white miso paste
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp avocado oil
1/2 cup raw pecans
1 tsp chili flakes
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1 lime for zest

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Slice the acorn squash in half, remove seeds, and cut into 1-inch thick half-moons, keeping the skin on for texture.

In a small bowl, whisk together the miso, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and oil until a smooth, emulsified glaze forms.

Toss the squash slices thoroughly in this mixture on a large parchment-lined baking sheet.

Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until the edges are caramelized and tender.

While roasting, toast the pecans in a dry pan with chili flakes until fragrant.

Once the squash is golden-brown, plate immediately and garnish generously with the spicy pecans, fresh cilantro, and a vibrant shower of lime zest.
