Ingredients

  • 1 medium Kabocha squash (seeded and sliced into wedges)
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup toasted pecans (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (minced)
  • 1 small chili (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt

Instructions

1
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a heavy-duty baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and olive oil until a smooth, emulsified glaze forms.
3
Arrange the Kabocha squash wedges on the tray and brush generously with the miso-maple mixture until every crevice is coated.
4
Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges begin to caramelize into a deep golden brown and the interior is fork-tender.
5
While the squash roasts, combine the chopped pecans, fresh cilantro, and chili in a small bowl to create the gremolata.
6
Once the squash is perfectly tender, remove it from the oven, plate immediately, and sprinkle the vibrant pecan gremolata over the top for a crunch that elevates the velvety texture of the squash.
