Prep and glaze
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
- Whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic, fresh rosemary, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Assemble and roast
- Arrange Italian sausage rounds, butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, red onion, bell peppers, and apple in an even layer on the sheet pan.
- Drizzle the glaze over everything and toss to coat so the vegetables and sausage look glossy.
- Roast at 425°F for 30-35 minutes, stirring once halfway, until vegetables are caramelized and the sausage is cooked through.
Extra caramelization
- Broil 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye on the sheet pan, until the edges deepen in color and look extra caramelized.
Notes
For best caramelization, keep the vegetables in a single even layer and avoid overcrowding the sheet pan. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat on a sheet pan in a 400°F oven until warmed through. Freezing is not recommended due to texture changes in the vegetables. For a lighter option, use chicken sausage instead of Italian sausage to cut some saturated fat while keeping the same glaze.
