A sheet pan is a blank canvas for cooks who love flavor but hate cleanup (see also: foil pack dinners). Easy one-pan meals are a lifesaver on busy weeknights—but the best ones also deliver a blast of seasonal comfort. This fall sheet pan dinner is basically an edible autumn postcard. Loaded with roasted butternut squash, sweet carrots, caramelized onions, and fresh herbs, it’s as cozy as pulling on your favorite sweater (if your sweater was full of huge chunks of chicken sausage). A sprinkle of pomegranate seeds adds brightness and crunch, while warm pumpkin spice sneaks in just enough to keep the PSL crowd happy. And the star of the show? Our Classic Roasted Chicken Sausage, which ties all those autumn flavors together into one hearty, zero-stress dinner.

Instructions
Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 36 min | Servings: 1
1
Preheat the oven to 375℉, and place your baking sheet inside to heat up as well.
2
While the oven does its thing, toss the butternut squash, chickpeas, Brussels sprouts, red onion, and carrots with extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, brown sugar, pumpkin spice, rosemary, and sage in a large bowl.
3
Spread everything out in an even layer on the hot baking sheet and roast for 18 minutes.
4
Remove the pan from the oven and flip the veggies with a spatula. Add the sliced sausage, toss to coat with the other ingredients, and spread back into an even layer.
5
Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 18 minutes, until the sausage casing is browned and blistered and the Brussels sprouts and squash have lightly charred edges.
6
Remove the baking dish and garnish with parsley and Pomegranate seeds. Serve with cooked barley or farro, or enjoy on its own.
