Ingredients

1 Cup Cubed Kabocha about 1/4 of a medium sized kabocha
2 tbsp Butter
2 1/2 tbsp Maple Syrup
1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 tbsp Walnuts crushed

Instructions

Gather all the ingredients.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Peel the kabocha's skin off with a peeler and then cut into cubes as shown below. Note - if you're having a difficult time cutting into the kabocha, throw the whole kabocha in the microwave for about 1 - 1.5 minutes.
Place walnuts inside a zip-lock bag and use a mallet to gently crush the walnuts as shown below.
Butter the bottom and sides of a baking dish while leaving remaining butter inside, transfer cubed kabocha, followed maple syrup, sprinkle of cinnamon, and gently mix. Once mixed, top with a sprinkle of crushed walnuts and bake for 20-25 minutes until kabocha is soft and can easily be picked up with a fork. Note - feel free to add another 1 tbsp of maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.
If desired, transfer baked kabocha onto a serving plate and spoon reserved glaze sauce on top.
