Brussel Sprouts, Butternut Squash, and Bacon

11/13/16

Roast Brussels Sprouts, Butternut Squash, and Bacon Roasted Brussel Sprouts & Butternut Squash with BACON.. YES!!!

Every holiday season I share a few side dishes, with at least one or two of them being a vegetable dishes. The past few years, I shared recipes for collard greens, southern green beans, and even creamed corn. This year I will be sharing a brussel sprout & butternut squash recipe!

Delicious roasted vegetables with baconBelieve it or not, I absolutely love brussel sprouts. It’s been one of my favorite vegetables since I was a little girl.  I used to call them ” baby cabbages”, LOL . My mom used to make brussel sprouts on the stove top with a lil bit of butter and seasonings, and would always serve it with rice, and whatever meat we had on hand.

These days I like to make my brussel sprouts a tad bit different.

During the holidays, I like to mix my brussel sprouts with butternut squash. I season the vegetables with a little bit of salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and a nice amount of smokey bacon.

The outcome is always extremely flavorful, and of course delicious! Even my family and friends that claim to not care much for brussel sprouts, and butternut squash love this recipe.

Try it out for yourself!

    This will be a great side dish anytime, since you can buy frozen butternut squash. I am cooking this for my family.

    Hi Rosie, I’m trying this recipe. I have fresh Brussel Sprouts and fresh Butternut Squash. Should they be precooked before putting in oven?

      Hi Wanda. No, nothing was precooked before putting it in the oven.
