Spiced Kabocha Squash With Lemon Pepper Sauce

Here’s a recipe for roasted and spiced kabocha squash, sometimes called Japanese pumpkin!

Here’s what you will need:

4. You don’t have to peel the squash, just slice it in about 1/2 inch thick wedges.
5. Mix the oil with parsley, garlic and caraway seeds.
6. Rub the oil mixture in the squash wedges and place them on the parchment paper. Make sure they are not stacked on top of each other.
