Looking for a quick and delicious way to enjoy kabocha squash? Try this Japanese-style Roasted Kabocha Squash that's thinly sliced and oven-baked until slightly charred and fork-tender. Here, I show you how to lightly flavor it two ways: with shichimi togarashi spice blend and with sweetened soy sauce.
