Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
