Methinks steps 5 and 6 are missing….
I can figure it out, but someone dropped the ball here.
Oh my goodness! What a good catch! It is a Safeway original recipe and even though I retyped it, I totally missed a step (as did Safeway ;-))
You toast the pecans in a skillet for a few minutes, then combine the squash, toasted pecans, dried cranberries in a serving dish, then top with the balsamic glaze and the fried sage. It’s delicious! Thank you for your comment. I’ve updated the recipe card with the final instructions. While the recipe calls for either lemon or balsamic glaze, the balsamic is a much better flavor profile for this particular dish. Please let us know your thoughts once you make it!
