Description

A simple, one-pan meal featuring roasted butternut squash and savory sausage.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Toss the cubed butternut squash with half the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast the squash for 20 minutes until tender.
  4. While the squash roasts, heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the sausage to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain excess fat.
  6. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  7. Stir in the minced garlic and dried sage; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  8. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  9. Add the roasted butternut squash to the skillet and stir gently to combine.
  10. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the liquid has slightly reduced. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

  • You can substitute sweet Italian sausage with mild or hot Italian sausage based on your preference.
  • For a richer flavor, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
