The flavors of the season come together beautifully in this recipe for Maple Roasted Butternut Squash and Apples. It’s wonderful as a side dish or as a delicious meatless entree. A healthy, easy, vegetarian dish for fall.
There are few things I enjoy more than sweet, tender baked apples. Paired with roasted butternut squash and drizzled with maple syrup and crunchy pecans, this dish is a real treat for an apple-loving girl like me.
