Description

A simple and flavorful recipe for Miso Glazed Honeynut Squash, offering a sweet and savory profile with a touch of umami.


Ingredients

  • 2 honeynut squash
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
  • Chopped scallions, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Halve the honeynut squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and garlic powder until well combined.
  4. Place the squash halves cut-side up on a baking sheet.
  5. Spoon the miso glaze evenly over the cut surfaces of the squash.
  6. Roast for 25-35 minutes, or until the squash is tender and caramelized.
  7. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions, if desired.

Notes

  • Honeynut squash is a smaller, sweeter variety of butternut squash. If unavailable, you can substitute with butternut squash or acorn squash.
  • Adjust the sweetness and saltiness of the glaze to your preference by altering the amounts of honey and soy sauce.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
