Step 1

In small bowl mix together the olive oil, maple syrup, garlic, cayenne, cinnamon and cloves until well combined. Pour over the brussels and butternut squash.

Step 2

Season generously with salt and pepper. Use clean hands to toss together then spread out evenly on the baking sheet.

Step 3

Roast in the oven for 15 minutes then flip and roast for an additional 15 minutes until brussels turn a slight golden brown and squash is fork tender.

Step 4

While the veggies are roasting, cook your bacon according to the directions on the package. Remember you only need about 5 ounces (or about 4-6 slices).

Step 5

Once done cooking bacon and it’s crispy, transfer to a paper towel and pat away the grease as much as possible, then chop the bacon and set aside.

Step 6

Once the butternut squash and brussels are done roasting, transfer them to a large serving bowl and gently fold in chopped bacon, dried cranberries and toasted pecans. Garnish with your choice of crumbled cheese.
