Ingredients
Scale
1 medium acorn squash
450 grams fresh Brussels sprouts
2 tablespoons olive oil
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
175 grams pecan halves
60 millilitres maple syrup
45 grams unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat oven to 190°C.
Slice the acorn squash lengthwise into quarters, remove seeds, and cut each quarter into 1.25 cm slices, discarding the ends.
Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts.
Combine squash slices and Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and toss until evenly coated.
Divide the vegetables evenly between two foil-lined baking trays measuring 38 x 25 x 2.5 cm.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
While vegetables roast, toast pecan halves in a large, dry skillet over medium-low heat for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently until they are lightly browned.
Add the maple syrup and butter, stirring until the butter is fully melted and pecans are glazed.
Transfer roasted vegetables to a serving dish.
Pour the pecan mixture over the vegetables and gently toss to coat before serving.
