# Étapes à suivre:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Carefully cut the acorn squash in half and scoop out the seeds and stringy insides. Slice each half into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
02 -
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until well combined. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add the candied mixture to the butter and stir until it forms a smooth glaze.
03 -
Pour the candied mixture evenly over the acorn squash slices, ensuring each slice is well coated. Use a brush or spoon to spread the mixture if necessary.
04 -
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and caramelized. Flip the slices halfway through for even cooking. Keep an eye on the squash to prevent burning; the edges should be golden brown and slightly crispy.
05 -
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the squash cool slightly. Serve warm, garnished with chopped pecans or walnuts and a sprinkle of fresh parsley or thyme for added color and flavor.
