Bacon-Wrapped Butternut Squash Bites

Ingredients

  • 1 butternut squash cut into cubes (directions below)
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • About 16 strips bacon (or a little over 2 packages), cut in half (I use Pederson’s Uncured Hickory Smoked Pepper Bacon)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Soak a handful of toothpicks in a small bowl full of water. This prevents them from burning in the oven.
  • Cut off both ends of the squash. Peel the squash with a vegetable peeler and cut in half. Now take the seeds out with a spoon. Cut squash into small cubes.
  • Cut bacon right down the middle, in half. Now bacon wrap all of your butternut squash and lightly pierce with toothpick and place on baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, combine your garlic salt and chili powder, toss.
  • Sprinkle garlic salt and chili powder blend evenly among the butternut squash.
  • Bake for 30 minutes until bacon is crisped. Remove, serve and enjoy!
