1 small butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
4 ounces ground breakfast sausage
2 large apples, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup maple syrup

1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Place butternut squash into a large bowl; toss with olive oil and salt until thoroughly coated. Spread squash in a single layer on prepared baking sheet.
3
Roast in preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes.
4
Cook sausage over high heat in a skillet until well-browned, about 7 minutes. Crumble cooked sausage into large serving bowl.

Combine balsamic vinegar and maple syrup in a small saucepan. Place over high heat. When mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until it begins to thicken and smells strongly acidic, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

To serve, spoon salad into individual dishes and drizzle with balsamic maple reduction. Serve with a glass of ice cold milk.
