SPICY SHEET-PAN SAUSAGE AND SQUASH



Spicy Sheet-Pan Sausage and Squash image

Like chicken thighs, whose rendered skin leaves behind a puddle of schmaltz for frying vegetables, bread or beans, sausage yields a delicious fat for cooking. Paired with butternut squash and crisped in a hot oven, its spicy fat slicks the sweet squash, while parsley and lemon cut through all the richness. Feel free to switch up the squash for carrots, broccoli, potatoes: Any vegetables that are good roasted will work well in that liquid gold. If the meal seems light, bulk it up by topping with a cup of feta or rinsed canned chickpeas, adding arugula or watercress to the parsley, or serving it all on a bed of kale or mustard greens, like a warm salad.

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, weeknight, roasts, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (2-pound) butternut squash, peeled, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 pound spicy sausage (fresh chorizo, Italian, Andouille or otherwise)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cup parsley leaves
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus more as desired
Flaky salt, as desired

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees and stick a large baking sheet in the oven. Prep the squash and sausage: Cut the squash into 1/2-inch-thick slices, then cut the slices crosswise in half. Transfer to a large bowl. Score the sausages in a few places on both sides, making sure not to cut all the way through. Transfer to the bowl with the squash, then stir to coat with the olive oil and fat pinches of salt and pepper.
  • When the oven comes to temperature, carefully dump the squash and sausage mixture onto the hot baking sheet and spread it out into a single layer. Roast, stirring every so often to coat the squash in the rendered fat, until the squash is tender and sausages are crisp and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. (To add some color, put them under the broiler for a minute or two.) Let cool slightly while you prepare the parsley.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the parsley and lemon juice, and add salt and pepper to taste. Slice the sausage diagonally in thirds. Serve the sausage and squash on a platter with a pile of parsley on top and sprinkled with an extra squeeze of lemon and flaky salt, if desired.

Categories     Bake     Thanksgiving     Dinner     Sausage     Kale     Squash     Fall     Healthy     Self     Sugar Conscious

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 medium acorn squash, halved down the middle, seeds removed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil cooking spray
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
8 ounces hot Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
1 large leek, white and light green parts only, halved and sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 cups tightly packed torn kale
1/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons grated fresh Parmesan
2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°. Cut a thin slice off round side of each squash half to create a stable base. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; coat with cooking spray. Place squash flesh side down on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil; bake until golden and tender, 30 minutes. Remove from oven; flip squash and set aside. Heat broiler. In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat 1 teaspoon oil. Add sausage; cook, breaking into coarse pieces, until brown, 6 minutes; transfer to a bowl. To same skillet, add remaining 2 teaspoons oil and leek; cook until leek is soft, 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook, 30 seconds. Add kale and toss; add broth. Cover and cook until kale is tender, 5 minutes; stir in sausage. Divide kale-sausage filling among squash. In a bowl, combine walnuts, Parmesan and panko; sprinkle evenly over squash bowls and coat with cooking spray. Broil until panko is golden, 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: For this recipe, butternut squash or kabocha squash are good choices. They have a sweet flavor and a firm texture that holds up well in the dish.
  • Cut the squash evenly: This will help it cook evenly. If the pieces are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not be as tender.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the squash and sausage, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can brown properly. If the pan is too crowded, the food will steam instead of brown.
  • Season the dish well: Be generous with the salt and pepper, and add other spices to your taste. This will help to bring out the flavors of the squash and sausage.
  • Serve with a side dish: This dish can be served with a variety of side dishes, such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This simple squash and sausage dish is a delicious and easy weeknight meal. It's made with just a few ingredients, and it can be on the table in under an hour. The squash and sausage are roasted in the oven until tender and browned, and then they're combined with a flavorful sauce made with chicken broth, white wine, and herbs. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
