For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of olive oil. Simply melt butter in a saucepan until it turns golden brown and fragrant, then toss with the squash. If you prefer a vegan option, substitute the honey with maple syrup and omit the cheese, or use a vegan cheese alternative. The roasting time may vary depending on the thickness of your squash slices. Check for tenderness with a fork – it should slide in easily when done. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a hint of heat. To make the nuts more fragrant, toast them lightly in a dry pan before chopping.
