I love that this recipe has so many great flavors but is still super simple. It’s the perfect winter side that is still light (and not a kugel.) I use the McCormick brand of Garam masala, but if you can’t find it, you can use pumpkin pie spice or Chinese five spice instead. I add in a little sugar to make the sweetness of the kabocha pop and add a little caramelization, but if you prefer to leave it out, feel free! The kabocha is usually sweet enough without it.

Made this as a Thanksgiving side dish and loved the flavor combination! The squash cooked perfectly and tasted SO good! Also added some toasted pine nuts to this dish, and it was a good call. If your tahini is too thick to spread well across all the squash slices, be sure to loosen it a bit by putting it in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds.
