Total Time 45 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium butternut squash peeled and cubed (about 4 cups)
  • 12 oz sugar-free breakfast sausage
  • 1 large red bell pepper diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss butternut squash cubes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread on baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
  3. While squash roasts, heat remaining olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and cook sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Add diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in minced garlic, smoked paprika, and thyme, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  6. Add roasted butternut squash to the skillet and toss everything together, cooking for 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
