Ingredients
  

1 lb Italian sausage (spicy or mild, as desired)

2 cups butternut squash, peeled and diced

2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved

1 red onion, cut into wedges

2 cups baby carrots, halved

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried rosemary

1 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to facilitate easy cleanup.

    In a spacious bowl, mix together the butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, red onion, baby carrots, and minced garlic.

      Pour the olive oil over the assorted vegetables, then add the dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything to ensure the vegetables are thoroughly coated.

        Spread the seasoned veggies out evenly on the lined baking sheet, leaving a bit of space in the center for the sausage.

          Cut the Italian sausage into small pieces and arrange them in the center of the sheet pan. If the sausage is cased, feel free to remove the casing and crumble the meat if you choose.

            Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to guarantee even doneness. The vegetables should become tender and start to caramelize while the sausage turns golden brown.

              After cooking, take the sheet pan out of the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.

                Top with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add color and freshness. Enjoy your warm rustic autumn dish!
