3. Adjust Sweetness
If you prefer a less sweet dish, you can reduce or even omit the maple syrup. Alternatively, drizzle the syrup after baking for more control over the sweetness.

4. Make It Ahead
You can roast the squash ahead of time and store it in the fridge. When ready to serve, add the Brie, cranberries, and walnuts, then bake for 5-7 minutes until the Brie melts.
Substitutions and Variations
1. Cheese
If Brie isn’t available, you can substitute with goat cheese, cream cheese, or Camembert for a similar creamy texture and flavor.
2. Nuts
Swap walnuts with pecans, almonds, or pistachios for a different nutty crunch.
3. Sweetness
For a less sweet dish, you can omit the maple syrup or use a savory alternative like balsamic glaze or olive oil with a sprinkle of sea salt.
4. Fruits
Replace cranberries with dried cherries, raisins, or chopped figs for a new flavor combination.
5. Grain Boost
To make the dish heartier, consider adding cooked quinoa, wild rice, or couscous to the filling.
These substitutions and variations allow you to customize the recipe based on your preferences and available ingredients.
