Butternut Squash Smoked Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner
1 butternut squash
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp of your favorite season salt
1/2 tsp ground sage
salt and pepper to taste (you can always add more later)
13-16 ounces great quality smoked sausage (no MSG, no nitrates, no nitrites)
Parmesan or Romano cheese
1/4 c great quality mayonnaise
1/4 c honey
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
Preheat oven to 400°. (If you’re prepping for baking it later in the day, obviously bypass the preheat step and preheat when you’re ready to bake it.) Wash, peel and dice the butternut squash and place in a large bowl. Add oil, balsamic vinegar, thyme, seasoning salt, sage, salt and pepper and toss to coat evenly. Transfer mixture to a large shiny baking sheet (line with parchment if it’s an aluminum pan). Slice smoked sausage into bite size discs and arrange over the butternut squash mixture; bake in preheated 400° oven for 20 minutes. While it is baking, in a bowl or measuring cup, combine the mayonnaise, honey and Dijon mustard and mix well. Set aside to serve with finished product. Remove from overnight and, using a spatula, stir mixture and return pan to oven for another 15-20 minutes. After it has finished baking, remove pan from oven and sprinkle freshly shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese over each serving and serve with the honey mustard dressing. Enjoy!
