Kabocha squash is a Japanese pumpkin with a velvety texture and sweet flavor, especially when roasted. Tossing it with an umami-loaded mixture of miso and soy sauce intensifies the flavors even further, making it an ideal topping for a vegetarian or vegan ramen.
In a medium bowl, stir together the miso, soy sauce, oil, and brown sugar to combine well. Add the squash and toss to coat.
Spread the squash out in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until tender and beginning to brown.
