This roasted butternut squash with bacon recipe is a simple Fall side dish, made with 5 ingredients. It's a delicious dish perfect for family gatherings.
Spread cubed butternut squash on 2 foil-lined baking sheets. Drizzle some olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and rosemary, and stir the squash. Bake in a preheated 400 F oven for about 30 minutes, or until squash is tender when pierced with a fork. Halfway through, stir and turn butternut squash so it doesn't burn.
When done, place in a large casserole dish, sprinkle with some cranberries, chopped pecans, and bacon, and stir. Drizzle with some maple syrup, and serve warm.
NOTES
Cut the butternut squash into similar sized cubes so that they cook evenly.
Stir the butternut squash half way through so that it browns all over and the edges don't burn.
The butternut squash should be fork tender when it comes out of the oven.
