I made this dish to eat with dinner and I ate it for my dinner and then as leftovers for breakfast...both times it was really good. Healthy, low-carb, easy and you can make components of it ahead of time. I will definitely make this again.
About 2 cups diced butternut squash
(fresh not frozen)
1 cup diced tart apples (about 1
large apple)4-5 strips Bacon (I used turkey bacon)
1/4 cup or more chopped green onions
1/2 tsp coarse ground salt (or to taste)
fresh cracked pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to broil. After prepping the
ingredients, heat a large skillet over a medium heat. While the skillet is heating up, spread the diced butternut
squash out evenly onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Place under the
broiler. Broil the butternut squash till it just starts to brown in spots and
develop a skin, takes about 10-15 minutes. Stir once half way through cooking.
Watch that it doesn't burn to much though. Remove from the oven.
While the butternut squash is baking, add the bacon to the preheated skillet.
Cook till crispy, then set aside to drain and cool, then break into pieces.
Leave the bacon fat in the skillet for frying the squash.
Add all the butternut squash and
apples to the bacon fat (if it has cooled down too much reheat before adding
these ingredients) Continue to cook and stir the hash over medium-medium
high heat until the apples just begin to soften. It helps to spread the
hash evenly around the pan, then let it sit for a moment before continuing to
flip/stir it around again. This will help it to 'brown' instead of steam
itself, which could result in a soggy hash.
Remove from the heat, add the bacon pieces, scallions,
coarse salt and cracked pepper to taste.
