Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Butternut Squash

I have always found the hardest part about Thanksgiving is getting the timing right. With every dish requiring a different oven temperature or cooking time, it’s just as much about mastering the mathematics as it is about cooking skill.

Enter this incredibly low maintenance side dish. Prep the veggies, place them on a baking sheet with chopped bacon, toss everything in a simple sauce and leave it to bake. So easy right?

The bacon gets crisp while the butternut squash and red onion becomes caramelized in the sauce. Oven roasting brussels sprouts is my favourite way to prepare them, and letting them cook in this mustard and balsamic sauce makes them even better. This can also easily be made vegan, just leave off the bacon and use a touch of extra salt.

You could even cook everything the day before Thanksgiving and then put it back in the oven for 5 minutes to heat up before the big meal.
