Ingredients
  

  • 14 ounces smoked kielbasa sausage sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1 cup butternut squash peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2/3 cup bell pepper any color, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 small zucchini halved lengthwise and sliced into 1/2-inch half-moons
  • 1/3 cup red onion cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for greasing the pan
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. 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.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the partially cooked squash, chopped bell pepper, zucchini slices, red onion chunks, and sliced kielbasa.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture, then sprinkle with dried thyme, smoked paprika, garlic salt, and black pepper.
  5. Toss everything together until each piece is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
  6. Lightly brush a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil (or line with parchment paper if you prefer, though it's not required).
  7. Spread the vegetable and sausage mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. 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.
