    As of lately, my oven has been very neglected because of my air fryer. My air fryer has a permanent spot on my kitchen countertop. The oven needed a little loving and it was very loved with this butternut squash and roasted Brussel sprouts.

    Air Fryer Roasted Butternut Squash

    Yes, you could make this recipe in an air fryer.  I was kind of skeptical about the butternut squash roasting at the same time the Brussel sprouts did but to my surprise the Brussel sprouts turned out crispy with the olive oil and the butternut squash was also cooked. To make this recipe a bit more festive, I used some fresh cranberries. They burst open in the oven and become plump and juicy. Some crisp and crumbled bacon would also be good on these roasted vegetables.

    Ingredients Needed 

    • 1 medium-sized butternut squash - cut and cubed
    • 1 8oz bag of Brussel sprouts
    • 1 cup of fresh cranberries
    • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
    • salt and pepper

    Additional ingredients 

    These are not necessary but would be a great option to include or try. These will of course add on extra Weight Watcher points.

    • pecans, walnuts or pumpkin seeds for crunch - add after the vegetables are done roasting
    • Maple syrup or cinnamon for some extra flavor spice
    • Drizzle the brussel sprouts with a balsamic glaze or balsamic vinegar

    How to make Roasted Brussel Sprouts

    Step 1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

    Step 2 Cut the ends of your butternut squash (top and bottom). Slice the butternut squash down the middle and scoop out all the sides. Use a potato peeler to get the skin off. Cut your butternut squash into 1 inch cubes.

    Step 3 Slice each Brussel sprouts down the middle.

    Step 4 In a bowl add your cubed butternut squash, Brussel sprouts, 1 cup of cranberries, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss all the vegetables together and make sure they are evenly coated with the olive oil. It is ok if the vegetables are not all coated in olive oil.

    Step 5 Place the vegetables on a sheet pan and spread them out evenly. Place the sheet pan in your own and bake for 40 minutes at 400 degrees.

    Divide the recipe into 6 equal servings, about 1 cup per serving.

    Roasted Brussel Sprouts FAQ

    How to peel a butternut squash?

    Whenever I get any type of squash the first thing I do is cut off the top and bottom. Doing this makes it easier to stand the squash up so you can cut it down the middle. Which is your next step. Slice the squash down the middle and scoop out all the seeds.  Use a vegetable peeler to get the skin off the side.

    What Should I roast Brussel Sprouts with?

    Brussels sprouts are great roasted with some butternut squash. You could also add in some bacon, pancetta, dried cranberries, or any type of nut would be good.

    How do you prepare Brussel sprouts for roasting?

    Cut off the brown ends of the Brussels sprouts and pull off any yellow outer leaves. I cut my  Brussel sprouts in half for this recipe.
