Zach and I have now made this recipe every week for the last 4 weeks. It's such an easy fall meal! If you're looking for a healthy weeknight meal, this is it!

The flavors in this recipe remind me so much of fall. It's like Thanksgiving in a bowl! The rosemary and thyme add such a delicious flavor with the sweet butternut squash and apples. You're going to love it!

butternut squash and apple recipe

What you need to make this one pan recipe:

There's only a few ingredients in this recipe! And bonus, they're all really affordable! So you can feed a large family without breaking the bank. Here's what you need:

  • 1 medium butternut squash
  • 3-4 medium or large apples
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 12 ounces sausage (kielbasa)
  • olive oil
  • rosemary
  • fresh thyme

And then of course the usual salt and pepper:) If you have these ingredients and a sheet pan you're ready to go!

What type of sausage should you use?

I use Kielbasa in this one pan sausage, butternut squash and apples recipe, but any pre-cooked sausage will do! You can use a pork sausage, chicken sausage or turkey sausage. Try to make sure your sausage doesn't have any added sugars in it.

Take a look at the package in the grocery store prior to buying it, because a lot of them try to sneak corn syrup or added sugars in there. Aidelle is my favorite brand we've found!

What apples to use for One Pan Sausage, Butternut Squash and Apples:

For this recipe, I like to use a sweeter apple to balance out the savory flavors from the squash, onion and spices. the apple adds just a bit of sweetness that tastes so good! Because of that, I used HoneyCrisp apples! They're my favorite apple and they're in season right now. But any sweet apple variety will do!

How to Cut Butternut Squash:

The trickiest part of this recipe is cutting the butternut squash. But if you know how to peel and cut it right, you won't have any problems! Take a look at the video below to watch how I do it! Here are the steps to peel and cut butternut squash:

  1. Using a potato peeler, peel the outer layer of skin off the squash. Make sure you're peeling away from yourself.
  2. Cut the tips off each end of the squash with a sharp knife.
  3. Cut the butternut squash down the middle length-wise
  4. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon
  5. Cut into strips then cubes

One you have all of your ingredients chopped for this one pan sausage, butternut squash and apples, throw it all in a pan and add the olive oil, herbs and salt and pepper! Toss it then throw it in the oven for 40 minutes.

    What a fresh and light recipe! I'm not a big fan of squash, but somehow these pictures made me want to try this recipe. And I'm amazed how you turned these simple ingredients into a healthy meal.

      I haven't tried it but I'm sure you could! I just got a new air fryer and will give these a try soon. I would try air fry for 30 minutes, tossing halfway through. Let me know if that works!

    I have some precut squash from Costco. About how many cups do you think one squash yields?

    Reply
    • Molly Thompson says

      November 16, 2020 at 2:47 pm

      Hey Kristin! Depends on how large your squash is. I just tested another recipe and it was about 5-6 cups!

    Hus wrinkled his nose when I told him what was for supper. And I wasn’t sure I could convince the kids, so did a quick dish of scrambled eggs for the picky eaters. Turns out 2:3 of said eaters enjoyed this dish and I could have gotten away without the egg selection. I loved it and will make again.

    Delicious recipe! Made it last night for my family. Only change we made was adding brussels sprouts and celery to it. I would definitely make this again.
