Prep and glaze
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment. A hot oven helps the vegetables brown quickly.
- Whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until the glaze looks smooth and glossy.
- Arrange the sausage, butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, red onion, bell peppers, and apple in an even layer. Keep space between pieces for caramelization.
- Drizzle the glaze over everything and toss to coat. The vegetables should look lightly lacquered.
Roast and finish
- Roast at 425°F for 30-35 minutes, stirring once halfway. Roast until vegetables are caramelized and the sausage is cooked through.
- Broil for 2-3 minutes for extra caramelization. Watch closely until edges turn deep golden brown.
Notes
For best browning, keep the sheet pan in one layer and avoid overcrowding. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3-4 days in an airtight container. Freezing is not recommended because Brussels sprouts and apple can soften after thawing. For a lighter option, use turkey sausage in the same amount and follow the same roast/broil timing.
