Ingredients
  

Sheet Pan Dinner
  • 1 1/2 pounds fully cooked chicken-apple sausage cut into 1-inch rounds
  • 4 cups butternut squash peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
  • 1 medium red onion cut into thick wedges
  • 1 large firm apple cored and sliced into thick wedges
Maple-Dijon Glaze
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt adjust for sausage saltiness
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme or parsley for serving

Equipment

  • Large rimmed sheet pan
  • parchment paper optional
  • Small mixing bowl

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper, if desired.
  2. Whisk olive oil, Dijon, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, garlic, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Reserve about 1 tablespoon for the apple.
    Sliced sausage, squash, Brussels sprouts, red onion, apples, and maple Dijon glaze arranged for roasting
  3. Add sausage, squash, Brussels sprouts, and red onion to the sheet pan. Pour over the remaining glaze and toss well. Spread into one even layer, placing some sprouts cut-side down.
  4. Roast for 15 minutes. Remove the pan and stir the vegetables and sausage.
  5. Add apple slices and brush them with the reserved glaze. Roast for another 12 to 15 minutes, until squash is tender, sprouts are browned, and sausage is hot.
  6. For extra color, broil for 1 to 2 minutes while watching closely. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Cut the squash into even 3/4-inch cubes so it becomes tender on time.
  • Do not crowd the pan; divide a doubled recipe between two sheet pans.
  • Add apples halfway through roasting to prevent them becoming too soft.
  • Nutrition is an estimate and varies by sausage brand.
