Roasted Kabocha squash with butter, maple syrup, and soy sauce.
- 1/2 kabocha (small to medium)
- 2 tbsp butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp soy sauce
Preheat the oven at 400F (200C). Remove the seeds from the kabocha and cut into 1 to 1 1/2" pieces.
Mix the melted butter, maple syrup, olive oil, and soy sauce in a bowl and toss the kabocha to coat well with the butter mixture. Transfer the kabocha to the baking sheet lined with a parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, gently stir and flip the kabocha once and continue cooking until soft. Serve immediately.
