Ingredients

2 Honeynut squashes halved and seeded
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp white miso paste
1 tbsp hot honey
10 fresh sage leaves
1/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
1 tsp flaky sea salt
1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Arrange the squash halves cut-side up on a parchment-lined sheet pan.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it turns golden brown and smells nutty; whisk in the white miso paste until smooth.

Brush the miso-butter generously over the squash, reserving a small amount for the finish.

Roast for 30-35 minutes until tender and caramelized at the edges.

While the squash roasts, drop the sage leaves into the remaining warm butter until crispy.

Once the squash is roasted, drizzle with hot honey, sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds, smoked paprika, and flaky sea salt.

Top with the fried sage leaves and serve immediately while warm.
