First of all... can we talk about Brussels Sprouts? That double S in the middle throws me every time. Turns out, Brussels sprouts are actually from Brussels... which makes the double S grammatically correct. Well, almost. I guess it would be Brussel's sprouts? Brussels' sprouts? I don't know!
But I do know that they're ridiculously tasty when roasted on a sheet tray to a darkened crispiness. Crispy brussels sprouts > non-crispy brussels sprouts. That's proven science. And, of course, they're extra tasty when you toss in a little bit of chopped bacon!
Add in a handful of butternut squash cubes, some chipotle powder for kick and you've got yourself a majorly crowd-pleasing side dish!
Plus, know people who "don't like brussels sprouts"?! These Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Chipotle Butternut Squash and Bacon are guaranteed to win over any Brussels sprouts newbies/haters.
