Honey Roasted Butternut Squash & Brussels Sprouts With Crispy Bacon Pieces!

Honey Roasted Butternut Squash & Brussels Sprouts With Crispy Bacon Pieces go so well, so effortlessly!

Okay. So I’ll be the first one to put my hand up (well, both hands up), and admit that I normally and usually can’t stand brussels sprouts. Except for this simple and easy 2-extra-ingredients recipe!

Pair them with team butternut squash; smother them in honey; season with a little salt…and — my favourite part — add some crispy lovin’ bacon. Oh…honey. You. Complete. Me.

Normally, sprouts have the taste of bitter sports socks. Not that I’ve ever tasted socks. I’m guessing that’s the closest flavour on earth I can compare them too. Not this time, friends!

This is the last of the sides I’m giving you for your Thaksgiving menu planning. HowEVER, TOMORROW as a BONUS, you’re getting a state of the art, feeds a crowd, dessert for breakfast. THEN by Friday all fingers crossed, you’ll be receiving one of the best desserts your eyes and mouths have ever seen and tasted. GET READY TEAM DELITEFUL.
