Bacon Wrapped Butternut Squash

OMG.... These are SO FREAKING GOOD!!!  

I found these on Pinterest a few months ago and can't stop making them!!  They are bite size & melt in your mouth yummyness (if that is even a word)!!! 

GREAT snack, appetizer, side dish, or make because you are craving them! 



BACON WRAPPED BUTTERNUT SQUASH BITES 
(LOW CARB AND PALEO)

2 1/2 lbs butternut squash
15 slices of bacon
Olive oil
Chili powder
Garlic powder
Salt

PepperPreheat the oven to 350 F.  

Peel and trim the butternut squash.  Cut the squash into 1″ cubes 
(discard the seeds and pulp–makes about 30 cubes).  
I buy the cubed pre cut bag at Trader Joes!  Saves me time & the is only $1.99 (I think).

Place the squash in a bowl and drizzle with oil and sprinkle with chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper–to taste.  Toss to coat.  

Cut the bacon in half, width wise.  Wrap half a bacon slice around one squash cube and place, seal side down on a foil lined baking sheet.  Repeat for the reminder of the squash cubes.  


Bake for 20 minutes.  Flip the bites over (careful not to unwrap the bacon) and bake for another 20 minutes or until the squash is tender and the bacon is cooked through.  If you want to bacon crispier, broil it for the last 3-5 minutes of baking (keep an eye on it).

This is the website that I found this amazing recipe at on pinterest:
