# What You’ll Need:

→ Meats

01 - 4 mild Italian sausage links, sliced into rounds

→ Vegetables

02 - 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
03 - 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
04 - 2 cups fresh beets, peeled and cubed
05 - 1 large red onion, cut into wedges

→ Seasonings and Oils

06 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
07 - 1 teaspoon granulated chicken bouillon powder
08 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
09 - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
10 - ½ teaspoon dried thyme
11 - ½ teaspoon salt
12 - ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F and position the rack in the center for even roasting.
02 - Halve Brussels sprouts, cube butternut squash and beets, and cut red onion into wedges. Slice sausage links into uniform rounds.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, toss vegetables and sausage with olive oil, chicken bouillon powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
04 - Spread mixture in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet, spacing pieces to avoid overcrowding and promote caramelization.
05 - Roast for 25 minutes, then stir or flip the ingredients to ensure even browning.
06 - Roast for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until vegetables are tender and caramelized and sausage is cooked through and slightly crispy.
07 - Transfer to a serving platter or serve directly from the baking sheet. Optionally, drizzle with extra olive oil or a squeeze of lemon for brightness.

# Handy Tips:

01 - For optimal caramelization, avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming.
02 - Cut all vegetables and sausage to uniform sizes ensuring consistent cooking.
03 - You may prepare vegetables and sausage a day ahead; store covered refrigerated and season just before roasting.
04 - Consider lining the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup without compromising roast quality.
