Bacon-wrapped butternut squash
Background
This bacon-wrapped butternut squash is not only delicious but very versatile too. You can serve it as a main dish with a mash, or as a side dish with a Sunday roast. Alternatively cut the squash into bite-size pieces and serve them as nibbles at parties or as an appetizer at a dinner party.
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash
- Olive oil
- about 12 slices of smoked bacon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise, remove the seeds then cut them into wedges.
- Wrap the wedges with 2 or 3 slices of bacon. Season with a little pepper and brush with some oil.
- Place them in a roasting tray and bake for about 20 minutes.
- When the bacon is brown and the squash is soft, take them out of the oven.
