Pecan Squash Bake

Some of us here at RecipeLion recently took a wonderfully informative trip over to Royal Oak Farm Orchard in Harvard, IL, and we brought back a slew of wonderful recipe ideas. One of my favorites, and also a favorite at Royal Oak’s restaurant (considering they sell out of it every day) is this amazing and surprising Pecan Squash Bake.

I’ve been looking for some new and decadent recipes to try out this Thanksgiving and this one has captured my heart and taste buds! You know I’m not the only person who’s already looking up ideas for Thanksgiving, come on, admit it.

What I find most mind boggling about this Pecan Squash Bake is simply that it’s Butternut Squash! You’d never know after the first, second or even third bite. You’ll swear it’s sweet potatoes or maybe it’s pumpkin, or both, either way I guarantee you’ll love it. So to enjoy this amazing and actually pretty darn easy recipe check it out below. It will have your mouth watering and guests asking, is it a side dish? Is it a dessert? Who knows! It’s that good.
