Ingredients

  • 2 honeynut squashes halved and seeded
  • 15oz canned chickpeas drained and patted dry
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1/4 cup toasted pepitas
  • zest of one lime

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil until emulsified into a silky glaze.
3
Brush the cut sides of the honeynut squash generously with this mixture and place them cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet along with the thyme sprigs.
4
In a separate bowl, toss the chickpeas with the remaining olive oil and smoked paprika.
5
Scatter the chickpeas around the squash on the tray.
6
Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is fork-tender and caramelized with charred, golden edges.
7
Remove from the oven, sprinkle immediately with toasted pepitas and fresh lime zest.
8
Serve hot, drizzling any pan juices over the top to marry the savory umami notes with the autumnal sweetness of the squash.
