Ingredients
Scale
1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
2 Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples, cored and sliced
3 tablespoons of maple syrup
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup of pecans or walnuts, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Start by peeling and cubing your butternut squash into evenly sized pieces. The uniformity will ensure even cooking. Core and slice the apples, keeping the skins on for added texture and nutrients.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to allow for optimal caramelization.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the butternut squash, sliced apples, olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until everything is well-coated.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and spread it evenly. If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the butternut squash is tender and caramelized.
Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving.
