Sautéed Brussel Sprouts with Roasted Butternut Squash - a simple healthy veggie-packed side dish for all your main meals.
Sometimes it can be hard to incorporate vegetables into your meal in a delicious filling way. But vegetables really do not need to be boring, there are so many yummy ways you can jazz them up.
These Sauteed Brussels sprouts with roasted butternut squash are probably one of my favourite vegetable side dishes. Yummy seasoned roasted cubes on butternut squash mixed in with some lightly sauteed Brussels Sprouts.
Remember those bitter over boiled Brussels Sprouts we use to get served as a child? It's probably enough to put anyone off this delicious vegetable.
Cooked correctly or even eaten raw shredded in a salad like this yummy - Brussels Sprouts Salad with Almonds and Cranberries even the haters will be converted. I was!!
Usually, when sauteing vegetables, oil or butter is generally used. Here I use a clever trick I've been doing for years of braising and reduce down in stock, it gives the same effect and far fewer calories too.
The butternut squash is roasted in spray oil using just a few ingredients for seasoning. Nothing complicated is needed and all are ingredients you will likely already have in your cupboard or pantry.
I like to roast the butternut squash in this dish as it gives it a slightly caramelized exterior that is delicious.
