Sticky Soy-Glazed Kabocha Squash I love and recommend this recipe because it’s naturally rich in fiber, vitamins, and slow-burning carbohydrates that keep your energy steady. The squash provides beta-carotene for immune and skin health, while the herbs and spices support digestion and make it deeply satisfying. It’s a cozy, nourishing dish that tastes indulgent but fuels your body well — especially during fall and winter 🌿 Created by the amazing @twistedgreen Roasted Squash: • ½ kabocha squash • Olive oil + salt Sticky Glaze: • 2 Tbsp hoisin • 2 Tbsp sriracha • 1 Tbsp agave • 1 Tbsp soy sauce • ½ Tbsp rice vinegar • 1 tsp sesame oil • 1 garlic clove, grated • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated Peanut Lime Sauce: • ½ cup smooth peanut butter • 2 Tbsp water (add more to thin) • 3 Tbsp soy sauce • Juice of 1 lime • 2 tsp agave Garnish: • White + black sesame seeds • Chives, chopped • Chili crisp (optional but highly recommended) How to Make It 1.

Kabocha can last for a month uncut, but once you heat it up and cut it, you gotta use it up quickly. So don't cut it until you're ready for it 😉 P.S. the skin is edible so this is an easy squash to prep. #cookingtips #kabocha #mealplanning #mealideas #zerowaste

Making my fave roasted kabocha squash tots, but let’s take a sec and talk all things KABOCHA SQUASH! 1. It's hands-down one of my fave winter squashes. It’s sweet and so creamy, almost like a butternut squash and a sweet potato had a baby. 2. Once cooked it can be served so many different ways… on a salad, in soups, curries or as a side to protein. 3. It’s low in calories and even though it’s sweet, it’s relatively low-carb, with about 8 grams per a 1 cup. 4. Last, but def not least, the skin is completely edible (aka tender after cooking!) so you don’t have to peel it before or after roasting. 🙌 The recipe I made here is for my super simple roasted kabocha squash tots which I tend to eat right off the sheet pan or dip in ketchup! 🙈 Head to the link in my bio to grab the full recipe!

Part 1 prep! I love kabocha squash right now, you can find it at your local Asian supermarket most likely (this is what we call buttercup in New Zealand) It’s super creamy but low in calories so great for weight loss, just don’t lug on the oil! I cook it for about an hour at 350 degrees. Have you tried this??

👀 The secret is … 👀 👀 👀 … adding kabocha, also known as Japanese pumpkin! 🧡Why?🧡 Kabocha is in peak season now. It’s packed with fiber, vitamins A and C, and potassium, making it perfect for boosting immunity and supporting digestion. Plus, it’s rich in antioxidants that help fight inflammation. With a chestnut-like flavor, its naturally sweet taste brings a cozy, autumn touch to your rice, making it the ideal dish for the season. 🧡How?🧡 Simply wash and scrub the kabocha clean, cut a palm-sized piece, remove seeds, then add it to the rice cooker with your rice and cook as normal—there’s no need to add extra water. I use the “white rice” setting on my Zojirushi rice cooker. 🧡Mama’s Tip🧡 I recommend leaving the skin on for extra nutrients. The skin will soften as it cooks, but you can peel it if you prefer. #rice #kobucha #pumpkin #pumpkinseason #squash #ricecooker #healthyrecipes #easyrecipes #cookinghacks
