Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Leftovers are best reheated in the oven, but can be microwaved if needed.Brussels sprout pieces should be relatively the same size. I typically halve them lengthwise, but if you have some small and some large, you may need to cut the larger ones into quarters.You can purchase pre-cut butternut squash for convenience or peel and cut up a whole one. I used a large squash and after weighing out 16 ounces, had a decent amount left. You can store the additional cut squash in an airtight container or reusable, resealable food storage bag in the refrigerator for 4-5 days to use in another dish.The nutrition information shown is an estimate provided by an online nutrition calculator.
