Roasted Kabocha Squash (Air Fryer or Oven)
Kabocha squash (かぼちゃ, also called Japanese pumpkin) is one of my favorite vegetables. It has a drier texture compared to other squash types (it’s almost like chestnut). It can be prepared so many different ways, but I like to roast it. A little maple syrup, salt, and cinnamon is all you need to enjoy this delicious fall squash!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven or air fryer to 400°F. Line a pan with aluminum foil.
- 2
Wash the squash really well and pat it dry. Carve out the stem so that you can see the orangish flesh underneath. The flesh is easier to cut compared to the skin, so this will be a good access point for slicing the squash.
- 3
Gently work a large knife through either side of the squash to cut it in half. Work slowly so that you can keep all of your fingers. 😬
- 4
Cut the squash into quarters, then scoop out the seeds. Cut each quarter into 3 or 4 slices (depending on the size of your squash). Each slice should be about 1” thick.
- 5
Brush each slice with olive oil, followed by maple syrup. Sprinkle each slice with cinnamon and a little salt.
Place each slice onto the foil-lined pan.
- 6
Bake for 13 to 16 minutes in the air fryer.
The oven may take longer: up to 30 minutes.
Check the progress of cooking periodically. Poke the squash flesh with a fork to test for doneness.
- 7
Taste and add more salt if necessary. The skin is edible! 😋

Easy Kabocha Squash Croquettes Easy Kabocha Squash Croquettes
My mother loves kabocha squash, so I made these croquettes for her. She asked me to make just plain croquettes without other ingredients and I made these simple croquettes. It was easy to make! (I sent my mother frozen ones.)-Before microwaving the kabocha squash, wet 2 pieces of kitchen paper and squeeze out the excess water. Line the bottom of the heat-proof dish with one piece of kitchen paper and cover the kabocha with another. The resultant kabocha squash will turn out better. Don't forget the cling film to cover on top.-Kabocha skins have a lot of nutritions. Pare off the skin roughly so that some of the skins can stay on.-Make them in batches and freeze.
