Oh, wait, you knew that? I guess it's not much of a secret. But have you ever tried wrapping it around squash?? I mean, why would you since they're pretty much opposites? But really, world of a difference for the squash.
1 butternut squash
1 package bacon
1 TBSP brown sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
1 shake smoked paprika (I love this stuff)
Olive oil to coat
Heat oven to 350*
Peel, remove seeds, and cut squash into one inch cubes, or something similarly uniform. Place in a gallon ziploc (or in a bowl), then shake in olive oil to coat. Add in spices and shake to coat. Wrap each piece in bacon, either by first cutting up bacon into pieces and then pulling it to fit or wrapping and then cutting as you go.
I prefer the second method because you will end up with leftover pieces of both the bacon and the squash and you can roast those together a later time. Alternately, if you don't have a Dillon to be your sous chef and don't want to spend the time to wrap, just chop up the bacon and throw it in with the squash on a pan.
Cook at 350* for 45-55 mins, or until squash is tender.
