Bacon Wrapped Butternut Squash

What You Will Need. •2 1/2 lbs butternut squash •15 slices of bacon •Olive oil •Chili powder •Garlic powder •Salt •Pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. 2. Peel and trim the butternut squash. 3. Cut the squash into 1″ cubes (discard the seeds and pulp–makes about 30 cubes). 4. Place the squash in a bowl and drizzle with oil and sprinkle with chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper–to taste. Toss to coat.

5. Cut the bacon in half, width wise. 6. Wrap half a bacon slice around one squash cube and place, seal side down on a foil lined baking sheet. Repeat for the reminder of the squash cubes. Bake for 20 minutes.

7. Flip the bites over (careful not to unwrap the bacon) and bake for another 20 minutes or until the squash is tender and the bacon is cooked through. If you want to bacon crispier, broil it for the last 3-5 minutes of baking (keep an eye on it).
