Sheet Pan Sausage and Acorn Squash
Description
Sheet Pan Sausage and Acorn Squash features acorn squash cut into even slices along with sliced fennel and chicken sausage, all tossed in olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Roasting at a high temperature ensures the squash softens with slightly crisped edges, while the fennel adds a mild anise note and the sausage provides a savory protein component. The method of spacing ingredients apart on the pan promotes even cooking and browning.
The dish can be served immediately as a simple dinner or side, benefiting from the combination of sweet roasted squash and savory sausage. The recipe notes that the acorn squash skin is edible, which reduces waste and adds slight texture to each bite.
