Ingredients

  • 2 honeynut squashes halved and seeded
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp crispy chili oil
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Brush the cut sides of the squash with olive oil and place face down on a parchment-lined baking sheet; roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.
3
While the squash roasts, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to foam and turn golden brown with a nutty aroma.
4
Remove from heat immediately and whisk in the miso paste and maple syrup until a smooth emulsion forms.
5
Flip the roasted squash pieces over and drizzle generously with the miso-brown butter glaze.
6
Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the edges.

Transfer to a serving platter and finish by spooning the crispy chili oil over the top, scattering with toasted sesame seeds and fresh cilantro.
