Prep and glaze
- Preheat the oven to 425F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.
- Whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until the glaze looks smooth and evenly blended.
Assemble and roast
- Arrange the sausage, butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, red onion, bell peppers, and apple in an even layer on the sheet pan.
- Drizzle the glaze over everything, then toss gently just until coated so the vegetables and sausage look shiny.
- Roast at 425F for 30-35 minutes, stirring once halfway, until vegetables are caramelized and the sausage is cooked through.
- Broil for 2-3 minutes for extra caramelization, watching closely until browned edges appear.
Notes
For the best caramelization, keep the sheet pan in a single even layer so steam can escape—crowding will make everything softer instead of browned. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat on a sheet pan in a 425F oven until hot. Freezing is not recommended because the Brussels sprouts and apple can soften after thawing. For a lighter option, use chicken sausage or turkey sausage in the same amounts.
