Have no fear an easy, delicious super bowl treat is here! People doing the Whole30 challenge or eating strict paleo are probably starting to wonder: what will I do for super bowl snacks?! This one is super simple and really yummy. Why am I wrapping butternut squash in bacon? Because I hate scallops. Hate. So what else might go well wrapped in bacon? Well, everything I guess 🙂 But I was looking for something that would be a little sweet and cook soft to compliment the salty crisp bacon. Experiment success!
Ingredients:
20 oz Butternut squash – I totally cheated and bought a package of precut cubes! Saves a lot of time! If you buy a whole squash, peel it, deseed it, and cut it into 1-2 inch cubes.
20-24 oz. uncured nitrate free no sugar added bacon
Olive oil
Kosher or sea salt
Pepper
Toothpicks
Method:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss the butternut squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap each cube of butternut squash with half a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake at 400°F for 25 minutes, until bacon is crisp.
