Ingredients

  • 1 pound brussels sprouts, halved, stems and yellow outer leaves removed
  • 4 cups cubed butternut squash (about 12 ounces)
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder (regular chili powder will work just fine)
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/4 cup gorgonzola crumbles
  • OPTIONAL: 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Add butternut squash and brussels sprouts to a large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, maple syrup, garlic, chili powder and cinnamon. Pour over squash and sprouts and toss to evenly distribute. 
  3. Pour on a baking sheet and spread out evenly. Roast in oven for 25-30 minutes or until squash is fork tender and sprouts are slightly crispy and caramelized. 
  4. Remove from oven, cool for a few minutes then immediately transfer to a large bowl. 
  5. Top with pomegranate seeds, gorgonzola crumbles and pecans, if desired. Serve immediately. I recommend doubling for a crowd!
