Method
Prep and glaze
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.
- Whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic, fresh rosemary, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Assemble
- Arrange Italian sausage rounds, butternut squash cubes, halved Brussels sprouts, red onion wedges, bell pepper chunks, and apple slices in an even layer on the sheet pan.
- Drizzle the balsamic-maple glaze over everything, then toss just enough to coat all vegetables and sausage.
Roast and finish
- Roast at 425°F for 30–35 minutes, stirring once halfway, until the vegetables are caramelized and the sausage is cooked through.
- Broil for 2–3 minutes to deepen browning, then remove immediately to avoid burning.
Notes
For the best caramelization, spread everything into a single even layer with some space between pieces. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container up to 3 days; reheat on a sheet pan at 400°F until hot. Freezing isn’t recommended because the apple and Brussels sprouts soften after thawing. If you want a lighter version, use chicken sausage (or turkey sausage) instead of Italian sausage to reduce calories while keeping the same glaze.
