Simple Roasted KABOCHA SQUASH! Let the chestnut flavour of kabocha squash shine by roasting it really simply. Add extra sweetness or savoury/salty flavour if desired but if you’re a purist you’ll love how simple this is! ⁠ Simple Roasted Kabocha Squash 1 kabocha squash (or Japanese pumpkin) 1–2 tablespoon olive oil ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp black pepper 1 tbsp maple syrup, optional ½ tbsp tamari (or soy sauce), optional ⁠ Preheat oven to 400 F & prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Wash & dry the skin since you don’t need to peel this squash! Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the squash from the stem to the base using a rocking motion. Pull the two halves apart once you have the squash sliced all the way around and the stem will separate. *Microwave for 2-3 minutes to soften the squash if you’re having trouble cutting it. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds & stringy membrane. Kabocha squash seeds are quite tough to chew but I usually roast them anyway. Separate them from the stringy membrane, wash, and dry them. Dispose of the stringy membrane or add it to your veggie scraps bag for homemade broth. With the squash deseeded, slice each half into half moons about one inch thick. Flip the squash so the cavity is facing the cutting board. Leave the squash in half moons or slice further into cubes. Brush or toss the cubes in oil & sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 40 min if sliced in half moons and 20 min if cubed. Remember to flip the pieces halfway through. The squash is done when you can easily slide a fork into the pieces and they are lightly browned in places. *Feel free to brush or toss the pieces with maple syrup and tamari (or soy sauce) for a more sweet and savoury flavour. *To roast the seeds; toss them with a bit of oil, salt, and pepper, and roast alongside the squash for the last 10 – 15 min of the cooking time. ⁠ Full recipe at 🖇️ in bio or visit ⤵️⁠ https://tastythriftytimely.com/simple-roasted-kabocha-squash/ ⁠ #tastythriftytimely #vegan #veganfood #veganrecipes #plantbasedfood #glutenfree #kabochasquash #kabochasquashrecipes #vegansofig #vegansofinstagram #healthyvegan #glutenfreevegan

Perfect for cozy season, and super easy to make. You’ve got to love kabocha korokke. These crispy Japanese croquettes have a tempting crispy exterior with a smooth sweet interior. This variety of squash is naturally sweeter than the others, but a little drizzle of agave or maple syrup into the spiced shallot squash mixture to elevate this further wouldn’t go amiss✨ @demthepesc #squash #demthepesc #korokke #canapes #festivefood

Benefits of Kabocha squash (aka Japanese pumpkin): * Seasonal vegetable best consumed during the fall and winter * Sweet and warm in nature which aids in digestion * Strengthens spleen and stomach systems * Loaded with anti-oxidants and beta carotene Ingredients: 2-3 cloves of garlic 1 tablespoon of avocado oil Half of a Kabocha (Japanese pumpkin) 1-2 tablespoon of organic white miso 1/3 cup of chicken or beef stock or broth 1 Tsp of salt for more flavor 1 scallion 1. Smash and peel garlic cloves 🧄 2. Wash Kabocha, cut, remove the seeds, and dice into desired size. If you want a soft texture you can remove all of the skin. Here I’ve decided to leave some skin on since it is edible and loaded with nutrients. 3. Add oil once the pan is heated (med-high heat). 4. Add garlic and stir in diced Kabocha 5. Add miso and stir into the Kabocha. 6. Add stock or bone broth. 7. Cover lid and let simmer on low-med heat for about 10 -15 minutes, longer if needed until desired texture. 8. Open lid and let the excess moisture evaporate, turn heat higher if necessary. 9. Add scallions and/or sesame seeds (not shown)! there are so many ways to make kabocha and here is one of the ways I make it :) #hollistichealth #hollisticnutrition #tcmlivingwell #tcmcooking #acupuncturist #herbalist #kabochasquash #fallrecipes #winterrecipes #miso #warmfoods #foodismedicine #soupseason

YES you CAN eat the rind -1 kabocha squash -2 cups dashi or light chicken broth -1 cup mirin -2 Tbs soy sauce -3 Tbs honey -sea salt and black toasted sesame seeds. White sesame seeds work to just less dramatic ;) *Place kabocha pieces into a pan skin side down in one layer. Cover (don’t drown) with simmering liquid. Bring to a boil then down to a simmer. Simmer for about 20 minute or until tender, but not mushy. Remove from heat and let the squash sit in the liquid until you serve it.

Sharing my favourite easy one-pot meal! Kabocha Squash (aka Japanese Pumpkin Squash) is one of my all-time favourite veggies. Bright orange on the inside, bursting with a sweet flavour that compliments the coconut and red curry so well 🧡 The outer shell can be quite tough to cut through, so I bake it whole first to make that whole process easier. This recipe can be completely customized to what veggies and protein you have on hand. I often use tofu and it happens to be the one protein my kids tend to eat 😮 Have you tried Kabocha squash before? #onepotmeal #kabochasquash #kabochacurry #flexitarian #eatyourveggies #halfyourplate #kidfriendlymeals #weeknightdinners
