Roasted kabocha squash glazed with a soy-ginger sauce. It&#039;s a lightly sweet and savory side dish that&#039;s easy to prepare.

Roasted Kabocha Squash

kabocha squash

olive oil (or vegetable oil)

salt

black pepper

maple syrup

soy sauce

ginger

sesame seeds (toasted (optional))

Set the oven rack to the middle position. Heat oven to 400ºF (204ºC).

Wash and dry the squash. Carefully use a sharp chef’s knife to cut the squash in half down the middle and then use a spoon to scoop out the seeds.

Place the squash cut-side down, trim off the stem and the bottom root side. Use a rocking motion to cut it into 1-inch thick wedges.

In a large bowl, toss together the squash slices, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place the pieces in a single layer on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet.

Roast for 15 minutes, then flip them over. Roast until the squash is fork-tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine maple syrup, soy sauce, and ground ginger. Brush on the roasted squash slices. Place in the center of the oven and broil on high until the surface lightly browns, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip over, brush the other side with the sauce, broil for 2 to 3 minutes.

In a small nonstick pan, toast sesame seeds over medium heat until lightly browned, about 1 minute.

Top roasted kabocha squash with toasted sesame seeds and serve warm.

This roasted kabocha squash recipe is a delicious fall or winter side dish! Topped with sesame seeds, scallions, and my sesame ginger dressing, it&#039;s filled with sweet, savory, and nutty flavor.

olive oil

Sea salt and black pepper

Sesame Ginger Dressing (for drizzling)

scallions

Sesame seeds

Microgreens

Preheat the oven to 425°F and warm the squash (whole) in the oven for 10 minutes, so that it’s easier to slice.

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Slice the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the ribbing and seeds, and then slice into 1½-inch slices. Divide the slices among the baking sheets, drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and tender. (Note: the skin should be tender and it’s edible too.)

Arrange the roasted squash on a shallow platter. Drizzle with the dressing, and sprinkle with the scallions, sesame seeds, and microgreens. Season to taste with more salt and pepper and serve.
