Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
Kosher salt
1 kabocha squash (about 2 1/2 pounds)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment.
  • Whisk together the brown sugar, maple syrup, butter, chili powder, cayenne and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl to combine.
  • Cut the squash in half and trim and discard both ends. Using a spoon, remove the seeds and discard. Place the squash cut-side down and slice crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick wedges.
  • Toss the squash with the maple syrup mixture to coat evenly. Arrange the squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, reserving the excess maple syrup mixture. Roast, flipping the squash and rotating the baking sheets top to bottom halfway through, until golden brown and tender, 24 to 26 minutes. While still hot, loosen the squash with a metal spatula from the baking sheets and flip to avoid sticking. Brush the squash with the reserved maple syrup mixture and transfer to a serving dish. Serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED KABOCHA SQUASH



Roasted Kabocha Squash image

The farmers' markets are full of beautiful fall squash; right now, our favorite is the kabocha squash. It has rich, firm flesh that's not watery. We prepare the squash like we would prepare meat to concentrate the texture and flavor.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 medium kabocha squash
1/4 preserved lemon rind
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt
2 lemons, preferably Meyer
2 sprigs flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the squashes in half horizontally. Scoop out the seeds and discard. Dice the preserved lemon rind.
  • Place the squash halves, cut side up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle the flesh with olive oil, salt, pepper, diced preserved lemon rind, and a squeeze of lemon. Roast uncovered in the oven, 1 hour.
  • Remove the squash from the oven. Cut into large wedges, drizzle with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Serve immediately, or use in Pasta with Roasted Kabocha Squash and Pecorino Romano (see recipe).

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for kabocha squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep green color and smooth skin.
  • Cut the squash properly: Use a sharp knife to cut the squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and pulp, then cut the squash into 1-inch thick slices.
  • Season the squash well: Before roasting, toss the squash slices with olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, chili powder, or garlic powder.
  • Roast the squash at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the squash and give it a slightly crispy exterior. Roast the squash at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly browned.
  • Serve the squash immediately: Roasted kabocha squash is best served warm, so make sure to eat it as soon as it is done roasting.

Conclusion:

Roasted kabocha squash with cumin salt is a simple and delicious side dish that is perfect for fall. The squash is roasted until tender and slightly caramelized, and the cumin salt adds a savory and smoky flavor. This dish is also a good source of vitamins A and C, making it a healthy addition to your diet.
