Yield: 1
Honey-Roasted Kabocha Squash
Ingredients
- 1 kabocha squash, seeded and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 Tbsp canola oil
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp salt
- Juice of 1 lime
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425℉. In a bowl, toss the squash with oil, honey, salt and lime juice. Place seasoned squash in a cast-iron skillet (or oven-proof pan) and roast for 30 minutes or until the squash begins to brown.
- Remove from the oven and adjust seasoning with more salt and lime juice, as desired.
Kabocha squash has a dense texture and a subtle, almost nutty flavour. When roasted, you can eat the exterior, which makes this a super-low-maintenance vegetable side. This honey-roasted squash would also make a great filling for a sandwich, with some salty cheese and sprouts, or even as a filling for taco night.
