Method
 

Prep and glaze
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until the glaze looks smooth.
Assemble and roast
  1. Arrange sausage rounds, butternut squash cubes, Brussels sprouts, red onion wedges, bell pepper chunks, and apple slices in an even layer.
  2. Drizzle the glaze over everything, then toss so all vegetables and sausage are lightly coated.
  3. Roast for 30-35 minutes at 425°F, stirring once halfway, until vegetables are caramelized and sausage is cooked through.
  4. Broil 2-3 minutes at the end for extra caramelization, watching closely so the edges turn golden.

Notes

For the most caramelized edges, spread everything into a single even layer with a little space between pieces. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 3 days; reheat on a sheet pan in a 400°F oven until warmed through. Freezing is not recommended because the vegetables can soften. For a lighter option, use chicken sausage or turkey Italian sausage to reduce fat while keeping the same balsamic-maple glaze.
