This delicious Maple Roasted Delicata Squash is one of my favorite ways to enjoy Delicata. The buttery maple cinnamon sauce with toasted pecans will have them licking their plates and your house will smell amazing too! Now if you know us you know that David is not a squash fan, at all, and he was asking for seconds of this super easy side dish!
