Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved or quartered, depending on size
- 3 cups butternut squash, chopped into ½" cubes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- salt and black pepper
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 links chicken sausage, cut into ¼" rounds
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 2 cups cauliflower rice
- 1 medium apple, chopped
- ½ cup pecans, chopped
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Garnish: chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F/220C.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Put Brussels sprouts on one baking sheet and the butternut squash on the other. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil each, and season with salt and black pepper. Bake for 20 minutes, or until squash is soft.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet or saute pan over medium heat, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Cook the onions until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the sausages, dried parsley, dried rosemary, dried thyme, and dried sage. Cook until the sausages have browned on the outside. (If using raw sausages, make sure sausages are fully cooked.)
- Add the cauliflower rice, apple, pecans, and cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice and apples have softened.
- Add the roasted Brussels sprouts and butternut squash to the skillet and stir well to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy!
