Delicata Squash and Brussels Sprouts with Walnuts

Scalloped, striped slices of delicata squash are so pretty that they make for a vegetable dish that's holiday appropriate, yet fast and easy enough to serve on a weeknight. Maple syrup, aromatic sage, and toasty walnuts add lots of autumn flair. Serve it as a side dish, or with polenta or pasta for a vegetarian meal.

Equipment

  • Air fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 delicata squash halved, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick rings
  • 1 pound brussels sprouts halved if large
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 sprigs sage leaves chopped if large
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup raw walnut halves and pieces

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer at 350ºF and set the cooking time for 20 minutes. If using a toaster oven-style air fryer, line the cooking pan with parchment paper.
  • Add the squash and Brussels sprouts to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil and maple syrup, then sprinkle in the sage, salt, and pepper. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  • Transfer the vegetables to the lined cooking pan, or, if using a basket-style air fryer, to the air frying basket. Roast the vegetables in the preheated air fryer.
  • When there are 5 minutes left in the baking time, sprinkle the walnuts on top of the vegetables. Return to the air fryer for the rest of the cooking time.
  • When the cooking program ends, transfer the vegetables to a serving dish and serve right away.
