Add rice and vegetable broth to a small saucepan then bring to a boil, place a lid on top, then turn heat down to a simmer and cook for 40-50 minutes or until rice is al dente. Set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray a half sheet pan with nonstick spray. Add butternut squash cubes, extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, chili powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper then toss to evenly coat. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until squash is tender, stirring halfway through. Set aside to cool slightly.
In the meanwhile, spray another half sheet pan with nonstick spray. Add shredded Brussels sprouts, remaining extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper then toss to evenly coat. Add to oven after stirring the squash then roast together for 8-10 minutes or until Brussels sprouts are tender and golden brown.
