About
Maple Glazed Acorn Squash & Brussel Sprouts with Toasted Pecans is so simple to make and the light maple glaze adds just the perfect amount of sweetness!
I lightly drizzle the sliced squash and sprouts with olive oil and a little salt. They are roasted in the oven until lightly golden and tender. While the squash and sprouts are roasting, I toasted up some pecans then added butter and maple syrup and stirred until everything was combined. When the squash and sprouts are done cooking they get gently toasted with the glaze and they are ready to serve!
