Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Butternut Squash combines two favorite vegetables in a delicious easy side dish. This healthy recipe is vegan and gluten-free.
One of the things I really like about this Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Butternut Squash recipe is the colors.
While I love Brussels sprouts, when they are roasted they lose their vibrant green appearance.
However, the bright orange of the butternut squash makes the dinner plate a little more exciting, don't you think?
And shallots add a subtle flavor that doesn't overwhelm the other vegetables.
If you've never cooked with shallot, it's similar to onion and garlic, but with a milder flavor.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Butternut Squash is easy to make.
Another great thing about this recipe is your oven does most of the work.
So you can leave it for 20 minutes while you prepare other dishes, give it a quick toss, then leave it again for another 15 or 20 minutes.
And I've found that it really doesn't matter if you cook it longer.
Burnt Brussels sprouts taste delicious!
Plus you only need a few ingredients to make this side dish:
Brussels sprouts
Butternut squash
Shallot
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
That's it!
Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Butternut Squash is a versatile side dish.
It's easy to make on a weeknight and also perfect for holiday dinners.
I love serving it at Thanksgiving and Christmas with Lentil Meatloaf Muffins, Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes, and Mushroom Gravy.
And don't be surprised if your guests ask for seconds!
You can also serve it with pasta for a change from your usual green salad.
The flavors compliment Spaghetti with Garlic and Olive Oil especially well.

This recipe turned out great:) I used a little bit more seasonings on mine, but they ended out really tasty. I added what I usually make cooked Brussel Sprouts. Onion powder, smoked paprika, curry, and a little cumin.
