Ingredients
  

For the Roasted Veggies
  • 3 cups Butternut Squash Adds a sweet flavor and becomes wonderfully soft when roasted; Sweet potatoes can also be used for a different flavor profile.

For the Sausage
  • 12 oz Cooked Sausage (andouille, cajun, or smoked) The primary protein that enriches the dish with savory, smoky goodness; Feel free to choose your favorite fully cooked sausage for a personal touch.
For Cooking and Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Ensures crispy, golden edges for added texture.
