Maple Sheet Pan Smoked Sausage with Butternut and Brussels
Description
This recipe involves slicing precooked smoked turkey sausage into rounds, then roasting it alongside similarly sized cubes of butternut squash and halved Brussels sprouts. The vegetables are cut to a uniform approximate size to ensure even cooking within 20 to 30 minutes. A simple glaze of maple syrup, olive oil, and minced garlic is whisked together and poured over the sausage and vegetables, which are then tossed to coat evenly. Salt and pepper season the mixture before roasting.
The roasting process develops caramelization on the sausage and vegetables, enhancing their natural sweetness and yielding tender textures alongside browned edges. The maple syrup offers a gentle brightness and sweetness that complements the savory sausage and earthy vegetables. The dish is finished by serving over brown jasmine rice, providing a wholesome balance of flavors and textures suitable for a convenient, make-ahead meal. Leftovers reheat well and the recipe can easily be doubled to serve more people.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces smoked turkey sausage sliced into 1-inch thick rounds, precooked
- 2 cups butternut squash 1 inch cubes, cubed
- 2 cups Brussels sprouts halved
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- salt kosher salt
- black pepper kosher salt
- brown jasmine rice for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Chop the squash and brussels - you want the pieces roughly the same size. I chop the squash into 1-inch cubes. Then I chop the brussels accordingly, either halving or quartering them. It may differ each time depending on the size of your vegetables. I suggest keeping the squash in 1-inch cubes (no larger) so it cooks in 20 to 30 minutes.
- Spread the sausage, butternut cubes and brussels sprouts out on a baking sheet.
- Whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil and garlic in a bowl. Pour it over the sausage and vegetables and toss well. Sprinkle everything with salt and pepper.
- Roasted for 15 to 20 minutes. Toss and roast for 5 to 10 minutes more. Serve immediately over rice.
- This meal is great to make ahead of time - leftovers are great. You can also easily double it and do it on 2 sheet pans.
