    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
    Warm and inviting Maple Pecan Winter Squash Casserole combines squash with a touch of maple syrup and toasty pecans for a great holiday side dish.

    Easy Maple Pecan Winter Squash Casserole topped with brown sugar and pecans makes a lovely side dish for the holidays.

    The addition of a little maple sweetness plus warm spices and crunchy pecans compliment the vibrant winter squash beautifully for a healthy side dish that goes well with any main.

    It can easily be prepared partially or mostly ahead of time for a holiday meal. Just reheat while the turkey, goose or ham is resting and dinner is done.

    Ingredients for Maple Pecan Winter Squash Casserole

    winter squash - use any squash you prefer: pumpkin, acorn, butternut, delicata, etc.

    eggs - or egg substitute

    maple syrup - real maple syrup is best

    butter - or butter flavor coconut oil

    brown sugar - a little goes a long way in this dish and really adds to the topping

    flour - this is the binder of the topping

    nutmeg - I love fresh nutmeg, but if you prefer you can go with cinnamon or cloves or mace or a little of them all.

      Yum! We make a similar dish with sweet potatoes, and I have not tried it with squash and it sounds amazing!

      This is packed with SO much flavor! From the squash to the maple and the pecans on top. It's packed with delicious fall goodness.
