RECIPE

1 large butternut squash (about 2 lbs whole)
1 lb brussels sprouts 
1 tbsp olive oil 
1 teaspoon garlic powder 
¼ cup grated parmesan 
Salt and pepper, to taste

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F and lightly grease a large rimmed baking sheet with a touch of oil. 

  2. Peel the butternut squash and chop into 1” cubes. Cut the broccoli into similar size florets. Toss in a bowl with the avocado oil, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. 

  3. Transfer to the baking sheet and roast for about 35-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender. 
    If you want it crispy, broil on high for the last 2-3 minutes, or until desired crispy-ness is reached. Remove from the oven and cool for about a minute. 

  4. Transfer back to the mixing bowl and toss with the grated parmesan. Season with extra salt and pepper, if desired, and serve immediately! 

  5. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
