Chef's Tips

Adjust the spices to your liking. You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.

For a sweeter breakfast, use a sweeter yogurt or add more maple syrup.

Feel free to substitute other nuts or seeds for the pecans and walnuts. Sliced almonds or sunflower seeds would also work well.

This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to feed a crowd.

Roasted squash can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
