Print Recipe

A comforting and flavorful dish combining roasted butternut squash with umami-rich miso butter, perfect for fall gatherings or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons white miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • Cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the butternut squash: Peel, seed, and chop into 1-inch cubes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the squash cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a generous pinch of salt. Make sure every piece is lightly coated.
  4. Spread the squash evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding; use two sheets if needed. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. The squash should be tender and caramelized with golden edges.
  5. While the squash is roasting, prepare the miso butter. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of softened butter, 2 teaspoons of white miso paste, and 1 teaspoon of honey. Mix until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust with more miso or honey if needed.
  6. Once the squash is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
  7. Transfer the warm squash to a serving dish and spoon the miso butter over the top. Toss gently until the squash is evenly coated.
  8. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and a sprinkle of cracked black pepper. Serve warm and enjoy!

[‘Cut squash into uniform 1-inch cubes for even cooking.’, ‘Flip the squash halfway through roasting for caramelized edges.’, ‘Use softened butter for smooth miso butter.’, ‘Adjust miso and honey quantities to taste.’, ‘Add smoked paprika or chili oil for extra flavor.’]
