Description
A delightful platter of winter squash roasted with a sweet and savory maple-miso glaze, perfect for warming up chilly days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium winter squash (butternut or acorn)
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
- Fresh herbs (thyme, sage, or rosemary)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice the winter squash in half, scoop out the seeds, and cut into 1-inch cubes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, and olive oil until smooth.
- Toss the squash cubes in the glaze until well-coated.
- Spread the squash on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway.
- About 5 minutes before it’s done, sprinkle fresh herbs over the squash.
- Once cooked, let it cool slightly before serving, optionally drizzling with more maple syrup.
Notes
For added texture, consider broiling the squash for a few minutes at the end. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
