Ingredients

  • 2 Honeynut squashes halved and seeded
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 10 fresh sage leaves
  • 2 tbsp chili crisp oil
  • 1/4 cup toasted crushed hazelnuts
  • flaked sea salt

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Arrange the halved squash on a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and roast flesh-side down for 25 minutes or until tender.
3
While roasting, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly until it turns golden brown and smells nutty.
4
Remove from heat and immediately whisk in the white miso and maple syrup until emulsified.
5
Increase oven temperature to broil.
6
Flip the squash, brush generously with the miso-butter glaze, and return to the oven for 3-5 minutes until caramelized.
7
In the same small pan, flash-fry the sage leaves in the remaining glaze until crisp.
8
To serve, plate the squash, drizzle with the reserved glaze, top with crispy sage, a generous spoonful of chili crisp, and a scatter of crushed hazelnuts for an earthy, complex crunch.
