Roasted Kabocha Squash
This versatile side dish features kabocha squash, a winter squash with a rich and buttery flavor. The squash is brushed with a sweet and savory mixture of maple syrup, brown sugar, miso paste, and olive oil, complemented by the warmth of cinnamon, ginger, and a hint of cayenne. Roasted to perfection, it offers a tantalizing blend of flavors in each bite. The recipe serves four and is an excellent accompaniment to a wide variety of main dishes.
