This recipe has a lot going on! Butternut squash, brussel sprouts, bacon, grapes, pecans, & a chili maple balsamic glaze. Even with all that, it’s still easy, healthy, & kid friendly.

This is a great recipe to use when you’re looking to feed a crowd or need a new idea for meal prep.

How to Make It

For this recipe, you will need a large sheet pan & two bowls, one large & one small. There’s a little prep work involved while the oven preheats. Peeling & cubing the butternut squash, and trimming & halving the brussel sprouts. Then the bacon starts to cook while you whip up the glaze.

The glaze is full of yummy flavors. Mostly sweet with a little bit of a savory kick. Coconut oil, balsamic vinegar, & maple syrup make up the base. Then you add some salt & pepper (of course), as well as chili powder & cinnamon. This combination goes so well with the squash & sprouts, creating a caramelly glaze as the syrup & balsamic reduce down.
