Recipe: Roasted Kabocha

I love kabocha! It's moist, tender, sweet, and its taste resembles a cross between sweet potato and pumpkin. It is packed with nutrients such as beta carotene, iron, potassium, and vitamin C. 

I recently discovered a new way to enjoy kabocha - ROASTING!  It's easy and HEALTHY!

1.  Cut the kabocha in half and scoop out the seeds. Then cut into slices of desired thickness.  Lay on a baking sheet (I use parchment paper for easier clean-up).

2. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle on sea salt or Himalayan salt, and pepper.  

3. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. 

And that's it!

Serve it as a healthy snack, appetizer, or side dish to a meal.
