-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
-
Coat cut brussel sprouts and butternut squash in coconut oil.
-
Toss with salt and pepper.
-
Spread out on two lined sheet pans.
-
Toss in the bacon if desired. 2 pieces if using in half the batch or 4 pieces if using in the whole batch.
-
Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
-
While the vegetables are roasting, in a small sauce pan over medium heat add balsamic vinegar.
-
Stir every couple of minutes until slightly coating a spoon, about 15-20 minutes.
-
The mixture will thicken more off the heat. Be careful because it can go from done to burnt in seconds-believe me I know.
-
Toss the vegetables and roast for another 5 minutes until tender and crisp.
-
Once the vegetables are done add them to the serving dish and drizzle with balsamic reduction.
-
Serve warm.
-
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
