Bacon Butternut Squash Quiche over Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Absolutely love this recipe and have made it a lot over the past few months. I always serve it over roasted sweet potatoes (recipe at the end of this post) or sweet potato hash. Also, I had planned to make this for some friends one time, but my butternut squash spoiled!  So I improvised and swapped out the butternut squash for sweet potato and it was equally delicious. I'm just a big fan of all things sweet potato.

Bacon Butternut Squash Quiche
Ingredients:

• 8 slices of cooked bacon
• 1 small butternut squash (or buy 1lb already cubed)

• 1/2 tsp. sea salt
• 1 tsp. pepper
• 1 tsp. coconut oil, melted

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Prepare a pie dish or tart pan by coating with melted coconut oil.
3. Chop up half the cooked bacon and cut the other four strips in half.
4. Peel and de-seed butternut squash then thinly slice into 1/4 inch disks.
5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk and seasonings.
6. Line the bottom of the prepared dish with one layer of butternut squash.
7. Sprinkle chopped bacon over the top.
8. Layer the spinach over the butternut squash and bacon.
9. Place another layer of butternut squash over the spinach followed by the remaining slices of bacon.
10. Pour egg mixture over the top evenly.
11. Bake for 35-40.

My Homemade Sweet Potato Fries
(Basically just roasted sweet potatoes)
Ingredients:

• 4-6 Sweet Potatoes (Depending on how much you want to make. 5 medium sized sweet potatoes usually gets me 6 oz of sweet potato fries for 6 meals. I think my idea of medium sized is bigger than most though.)
• Olive oil spray
• Sea salt (I actually use Garlic Sea Salt on everything I cook)
• Optional: Cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
2. Skin and cut the sweet potatoes into whatever shape you want. I either do fries, wedges or circles.
3. Spray baking pan with olive oil. Lay down sweet potato fries flat (please do not just dump a pile on the pan).
4. I fill my Misto with olive oil and lightly spray the fries, then add some sea salt (sometimes cinnamon too).
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Take out of the oven and move them around or flip them over. Bake for another 15-20 minutes.
6. Keep an eye on them, if they are thin bake for less time, and vice versa. Key is to move them around or flip them over half way through baking them. I usually make mine thicker, so I bake them for at least a total of 40 minutes.
