Barbecue Bacon Butternut Bites

Preheat oven to 450ºF and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a bowl, toss butternut squash with olive oil and all of the spices. Arrange squash on the baking sheet in an even layer. Roast squash for 20–30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until browned at the edges and soft in the center.

While squash is roasting, cook bacon pieces in a skillet over medium-high heat until chewy but not crispy. Drain on paper towels.

When squash and bacon are cooked, use toothpicks to skewer 1 piece of squash and 1 piece of bacon. Arrange on a plate for serving and sprinkle with the scallions. Serve warm or at room temperature.
