How To Make maple-glazed autumn vegetables

  • Step 1

  • Step 2
    Stir the vegetables and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 10-15 minutes more. Add the sage, thyme, maple syrup and the remaining 2 tbsp. butter. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
  • Step 3
    Transfer to a warm serving bowl and garnish with the parsley. Serve immediately.
