  1. GET YOUR ROAST GOING

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the Butternut pieces on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven, 30-35 minutes. Place the shredded kale in a bowl with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. Using your hands, gently massage until softened and coated.

  2. SEEDS, GLAZE & SAUCE

    Place the sesame seeds in a pan (you won’t use it again) over medium heat. Toast until lightly browned, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside to cool. In a bowl, combine the coconut sugar, the miso paste, and 1 tsp of oil. Mix well and set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the sesame-soy sauce, the grated Ginger, a generous squeeze of lemon juice, and some zest (to taste). Add 1 tsp of a sweetener (to taste) and the chilli flakes (to taste). Mix until the sweetener is dissolved and set aside.

  3. OH YAY, HALFWAY!

    When the Butternut reaches the halfway mark, remove from the oven and give it a shift. Coat in the miso glaze and return to the oven for the remaining cooking time until sticky, browned, and cooked through.

  4. START CRISPIN’ UP

    When the Butternut has 8 minutes remaining, scatter the kale over the tray. Return to the oven and cook for the remaining time until crispy.

  5. SLURPY, SAUCY NOODLES

    Bring a pot of salted water to the boil for the noodles. Cook the noodles until al dente, 2-3 minutes. In the final minute, pop in the edamame beans to heat through. Drain and rinse in cold water. Return to the pot and toss through the spicy sesame-soy sauce until well coated. Return to a low heat and toss for about a minute until reheated. Remove from the heat.

  6. BOWL UP & EAT UP

    Make a scrumptious bed of noodles and edamame, and top with the crispy Kale. Scatter over the glazed Butternut and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds. Finish off with the remaining chilli flakes if you’d like the extra spice, and serve with the remaining lemon wedge. Stunning stuff, Chef!
