- 1 large acorn squash halved and seeded and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices
- 1 small bunch broccolini about 8-10 spears
- 1 red onion cut into wedges
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1/4 tsp. dried thyme leaves
- kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
- 4-6 hot or sweet Italian sausage links about 1 pound
- 1/2 cup grated gruyere cheese
- 8-10 whole sage leaves
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
Toss acorn squash, broccolini and red onion on a large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil. Make sure everything is in an even layer and you are using a large enough baking sheet so the vegetables are not crowded.
Season with salt, pepper and thyme leaves.
Add sausages to top of vegetables and roast until vegetables are tender, about 15-18 minutes.
Heat the broiler with the rack about 8-10 inches from the heating element.
Sprinkle the gruyere cheese and the sage leaves over the vegetables and broil until the cheese starts to bubble and lightly brown and until the sausages are cooked through, about 3 minutes.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the cranberries. Serve immediately.
