Creamy butternut squash, crispy bacon bits, and sliced Brussels sprouts together in one delicious sweet and savory dish. This butternut squash, bacon, and Brussels sprouts hash is perfect for weekend brunch.
Ingredients
  • 5 strips of bacon
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional)
  • 5 cups butternut squash, cubed
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Directions:
  1. In a small skillet, cook the bacon until they become crispy. Transfer the bacon onto a napkin lined plate and allow them to drain.
  2. Pour out the bacon grease from the skillet. The skillet will be lightly greased. This will give the dish a smoky bacon taste. However, you can also clean the skillet and add vegetable oil instead.
  3. Add butternut squash to the skillet over medium to high heat. Allow the butternut squash to cook for about 5-7 minutes until it has softened. The outside will be softer than the inside.
  4. Once the butternut squash has softened, add the Brussels sprouts. Cook the Brussels sprouts and butternut squash for another 5-7 minutes. The Brussels sprouts will become tender.
  5. Break the crispy bacon into small pieces. Reserve about two tablespoons, and add the rest to the skillet.
  6. Drizzle the maple syrup into the skillet and use a spatula to evenly incorporate the ingredients.
  7. Transfer the butternut squash, bacon, and Brussels sprouts hash to plates. Top with the reserved bacon.
  8. Serve the hash warm.
