Harvest Roasted Vegetables

8 ounces bacon
1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved
1 1-pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and diced
10 pearl onions, peeled and halved
1 cup fresh cranberries
1 large sprig fresh rosemary, leaves removed and chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Heat oven to 400 F.  Line a baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up.

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy.  Remove bacon from skillet, chop, and set aside.  Reserve 1/4 cup melted bacon fat and discard the rest.  

In a large bowl, toss Brussels sprouts, squash, onions, cranberries, and rosemary, with the reserved bacon fat.  Spread evenly in a single layer over the baking sheet, arranging the sprouts cut-side-down as much as possible.

Bake until vegetables begin to brown and are tender, about 40-45 minutes.

Remove from oven and transfer to a serving dish.  Add chopped bacon and toss to combine.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Serve warm.

Serves 8.
