Ingredients
  

For the Sausage
  • 1 lb Mild Italian Sausage Can substitute with chicken sausage for a lighter option.
For the Vegetables

  • 2 Shallots Contributes a mild onion flavor; substitute with red onion if unavailable.
For the Fruit
  • 2 Red Apples Fuji or Honeycrisp recommended for best results.
For Roasting
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Use extra virgin for a more robust taste.
  • 1 tsp Coarse Salt Essential seasoning.
  • 1 tsp Cracked Pepper Essential seasoning.

Equipment

  • Sheet Pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • sharp knife

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Chop your butternut or acorn squash into 1-inch cubes and slice the red apple into wedges. In a large mixing bowl, combine the squash, apple pieces, and halved shallots. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with coarse salt and cracked pepper. Toss to combine.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly on a large sheet pan, leaving space between pieces for even roasting.
  4. Slice the mild Italian sausage into 1-inch pieces and arrange them on the sheet pan alongside the vegetables and apples.
  5. For added flavor, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or herbs like thyme or rosemary over the top.
  6. Place your sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for about 25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional apple slices or herbs before serving.
