Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine halved Brussels sprouts and cubed butternut squash.
Add chopped bacon, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Toss until well coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly.
Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until Brussels sprouts are tender and bacon is crispy.
