Roasted Butternut Squash and Brussel Sprouts

This is a family favorite. My kids love brussel sprouts. :-) It is very disheartening to see kids' commercials put down brussel sprouts when it is such a delicious and nutritious vegetable. Kids (and adults) can learn to appreciate this vegetable if prepared well. Combined with butternut squash, this dish has both a bitter and sweet flavor.

I buy butternut squash already peeled and cubed for convenience. You can find cubed butternut squash and both Costco and Trader Joes as well as packaged brussel sprouts. You can buy whole butternut squash which is less expensive, but I find the skin to be very difficult to cut through, even though it is thin. I have almost lost a finger or two trying to cut through the hard, tough skin.





Ingredients:
1 package of cubed butternut squash
1 package of brussel sprouts
Olive oil
Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute

Wash the brussel sprouts and slice them into halves or fourths. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large baking dish, arrange brussel sprouts and butternut squash. Sprinkle Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute per taste. Drizzle olive oil over vegetables. Bake for 45 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
