Prepare

Preheat the oven to 425℉. Set out a 15 x 21-inch sheet pan or 2 smaller sheet pans. Peel the squash and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Cut the red onion into 1-inch chunks. Trim and cut Brussels sprouts in half. Thinly slice chicken sausage into coins. The recipe timing depends on vegetables cut to these sizes.

Create Dressing

Prepare all dressing ingredients in a jar. Put on the lid and shake vigorously to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use, being sure to shake before adding.

Roast

On the large sheet pan, add the squash, red onions, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and salt and pepper to taste. I add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. With your hands, toss to generously coat everything and then spread in an even layer, leaving plenty of space for the veggies to roast. Add the tray to the preheated oven and roast for 10 minutes.

Add Brussel Sprouts

Remove sheet pan from oven and add the Brussels sprouts, 1 more tablespoon olive oil, and another pinch of salt and pepper. I add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Toss everything together, spread in an even layer, and return to the oven for 10 more minutes.

Add Chicken Sausage

Remove from the oven, add sliced chicken sausage, and toss everything together. Again, spread in one even layer and return to the oven.

Add Rice

Without opening the rice packets, knead and break up the rice with your hands to separate it into individual grains. No need to microwave or prepare the rice in any other way! Remove the pan from the oven and add rice, cranberries, pecans, parsley, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss everything together with a spatula, spread in an even layer, and return to the oven for 2 minutes.

Serve

Remove the tray from the oven and toss once more. Drizzle on the dressing to preference and toss everything once more. Garnish with fresh herbs and cheese and enjoy immediately!
