Roasted Brussel Sprouts & Butternut Squash

A Sweet, Savory Side with Rum-Glazed Walnuts

A Sweet-and-Savory Fall Side Worth Obsessing Over

There’s something irresistible about that moment when roasted vegetables turn golden and caramelized — when the edges crisp just enough to catch the light and the air fills with warmth, spice, and comfort.

Now imagine that, but with a twist. A drizzle of maple syrup, a splash of Kōloa Dark Rum, and a handful of walnuts sizzling into glossy, crunchy perfection. The result? A side dish that feels more like a celebration — sweet meets savory, earthy meets indulgent.

These Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Butternut Squash with Rum-Glazed Walnuts bring it all together: sticky-sweet crunch, tart cranberries, and just a touch of cinnamon. Every bite hits that perfect contrast — cozy, colorful, and a little bit spirited.

Perfect for holiday tables, dinner parties, or weeknights when you want something that looks (and tastes) special without the effort.

Fun Tip: Glazing nuts with rum and maple syrup not only adds depth and crunch, it fills the kitchen with an irresistible aroma. Make extra to snack on or toss into salads.
