Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Roast the vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash and Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until tender and golden.

  3. Cook the sausage: While the vegetables roast, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and garlic powder and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced lamb sausage and cook until browned. Stir in the sage and thyme.

  4. Add cauliflower rice, apple, and cranberries: Add the cauliflower rice, diced apple, cranberries, and cinnamon to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture softens and becomes fragrant.

  5. Combine and bake: Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large baking dish. Add the sausage mixture on top and gently stir to combine. Bake for another 12 to 15 minutes, until everything is heated through and slightly crisp on the edges.

  6. Finish and serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds before serving. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
