Ingredients
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place butternut squash into a large bowl; toss with olive oil and salt until thoroughly coated. Spread squash in a single layer on prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Roast in preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes.
Step 4
Cook sausage over high heat in a skillet until well-browned, about 7 minutes. Crumble cooked sausage into large serving bowl.
