  1. THE BEGINNINGS OF THE Butternut

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the Butternut half-moons on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 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. A BIETJIE PREP

    To make the miso glaze, place the coconut sugar in a bowl with the miso paste and 1 tsp of oil. Mix well and set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the sesame-soy sauce, the juice of 2 Lime wedges, and the grated Ginger. Add 1 tsp of a sweetener choice and half of the chilli flakes (or to taste). Mix until combined and set aside for step 5. Place the sesame seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.

  3. AT THE HALFWAY MARK…

    Remove the tray from the oven and flip the Butternut. Using a pastry brush or spoon, coat in the miso glaze. Return to the oven for the remaining cooking time until sticky, browned, and cooked through.

  4. GET THAT Kale CRISPY

    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. NOODLE TIME

    Boil the kettle. Place a pot for the noodles over a high heat. Fill with boiling water and add a pinch of salt. Once bubbling rapidly, cook the noodles for 6-8 minutes until tender. In the final minute, pop in the edamame beans to heat through. Drain on completion and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Return to the pot and toss through the spicy sesame-soy sauce until well coated.

  6. BOWL IT & EAT IT!

    Make a scrumptious bed of noodles and edamames and top with the crispy Kale. Lay over the glazed Butternut and sprinkle over the toasted sesame seeds. Finish off with the remaining chilli flakes if you’d like the extra spice, and serve with the remaining lime wedges. Grubs up!
