Ingredients
The following ingredients have 6 Servings
- 1.5 pounds butternut squash, cut into large bite-sized chunks (about 3 cups squash)
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 scallions, sliced
Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 450F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, toss the butternut squash with the olive oil and all of the spices. Arrange the squash on the baking sheet in an even layer. Roast the squash for 20-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the squash is browned at the edges and soft in the center.
- While the squash is roasting, cook the bacon pieces in a skillet over medium-high heat until chewy but not crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- When the squash and bacon are cooked, use toothpicks to connect 1 piece of squash and 1 piece of bacon. Arrange on a plate for serving and sprinkle with the scallions. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Enjoy!
