Today’s guest recipe is from Halle at Whole Lifestyle Nutrition. This, my friends, is my new favorite veggie dish! I absolutely love it! I’m so thrilled to have a new way to eat brussel sprouts and butternut squash! If you ask me, roasting brussel sprouts is the only way to go. It really mellows out the strong flavor that brussel sprouts can have.
I made this dish twice in the last week. I cheated a little and bought the packaged chopped pancetta [in the deli area] and peeled/cubed butternut squash [in the produce section]. This dish came together in a flash! Give it a try and let me know how you like it.
