Ingredients

  • 1 medium Kabocha squash (seeds removed and sliced into wedges)
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp chili flakes

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and neutral oil until you achieve a silky, emulsified glaze.
3
Arrange the Kabocha squash wedges on the baking sheet in a single layer, then brush each side generously with the miso-maple mixture.
4
Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are caramelized and the flesh is tender.
5
While the squash roasts, prepare the gremolata by tossing together the toasted sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and chili flakes in a small bowl.
6
Once the squash is perfectly golden, remove from the oven and scatter the vibrant sesame gremolata over the top.
7
Serve immediately while warm, ensuring each bite captures the perfect balance of umami, sweetness, and crunch.
