  • Roast the squash until tender: Roasting the squash until it is tender helps to bring out its natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Use a good quality maple syrup: The quality of the maple syrup you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Look for a dark, amber-colored syrup with a rich, robust flavor.
