Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds butternut squash cut into large bite-sized chunks (about 3 cups squash)
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • ½ teaspoon hot paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 4 slices bacon cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 scallions sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, toss the butternut squash with the olive oil and all of the spices. Arrange the squash on the baking sheet in an even layer. Roast the squash for 20-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the squash is browned at the edges and soft in the center.
  • While the squash is roasting, cook the bacon pieces in a skillet over medium-high heat until chewy but not crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  • When the squash and bacon are cooked, use toothpicks to connect 1 piece of squash and 1 piece of bacon. Arrange on a plate for serving and sprinkle with the scallions. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Enjoy!
