(Optional step) Place the acorn squash cut-side down for 3 – 5 minutes until the tops get a golden brown around the edges. Remove from the pan and place on a plate.

Step 10

Add the pecans to the pan with the butter and cook for 1 minute until the pecans are fragrant.

Step 11

Add the agave nectar, cinnamon, and salt to the pan. Stir for 30 seconds and then remove from the heat.

Pour the sweet pecan mixture on top of the acorn squash and enjoy!
