1/4 of one kabocha squash, seeds removed, cut to wedges
1/4 cup brown sugar
drizzle of olive oil
For easier squash cutting, cut the squash using a cleaver or a chef’s knife and cut down by hacking in and moving the top and bottom part of the knife in a seesaw motion until you’ve fully cut the squash. Lay the flat side down then repeat the seesaw motion to cut the squash in to wedges. You could also microwave the squash first for 3-5 minutes to soften the skin.
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Lay a piece of foil or parchment paper on a baking pan and place the squash on top.
3. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the brown sugar all over the squash.
4. Bake for 30 minutes. At the 20 minute mark, flip the squash over to cook the other side.
5. Serve as a snack, side dish or dessert.
