Instructions
  1. Mix the cubes of butternut squash in a big bowl with olive oil, salt and cinnamon.
  2. Place in the fridge for 1 hour.
  3. Prepare your bacon while the squash is marinating.
  4. Cut your bacon slices in half (NOT length wise but across in the middle).
  5. Take your butternut squash out of the fridge.
  6. Have your baking sheet ready, no need to oil.
  7. Wrap each little dice of butternut squash in a piece of bacon.
  8. Repeat until you are out of bacon and place the rolls on your baking sheet.

Notes
Make sure you place the bacon roll with the end of the bacon facing down on the baking sheet. It will keep the roll in place while roasting in the oven.
