For enhanced flavor, try drizzling a touch of maple syrup or balsamic glaze over the roasted squash before serving. Roasting time may vary depending on the size and variety of your kabocha squash. Check for doneness by piercing with a fork; it should be easily pierced with little resistance. Store leftover roasted kabocha squash in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving.
