This roasted kabocha squash with cumin salt is a wonderful way to enjoy the naturally sweet, nutty flavour of this dense Japanese pumpkin. Unlike other varieties, the skin of the kabocha is edible and adds a lovely texture once softened in the oven. The homemade seasoning, featuring toasted cumin seeds and a hint of smoked paprika, creates a fragrant crust that balances the squash’s rich interior perfectly.
As a versatile vegan side dish, this recipe fits seamlessly into a Sunday roast or can be served as the centrepiece of a nourishing winter salad. It is an excellent source of vitamins and fibre, making it a healthy addition to your weekly meal plan. Serve it warm from the tray, perhaps with a drizzle of tahini or a scatter of fresh coriander.
