Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Place the butternut squash cubes in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes to partially soften them. They should be about halfway cooked, not fully tender.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the partially cooked squash, chopped bell pepper, zucchini slices, red onion chunks, and sliced kielbasa.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture, then sprinkle with dried thyme, smoked paprika, garlic salt, and black pepper.
- Toss everything together until each piece is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Lightly brush a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil (or line with parchment paper if you prefer, though it's not required).
- Spread the vegetable and sausage mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the edges are lightly browned and caramelized.

Notes
For a milder flavor, use sweet Italian sausage instead of kielbasa. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread on a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes. Avoid overcrowding the pan for best browning; use two sheets if needed. Serve with crusty bread or over rice for a heartier meal. Feel free to swap butternut squash for sweet potato or cauliflower.
