Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On the prepared baking sheet, add the butternut squash, red onion slices, and gnocchi. Drizzle with olive oil, then add fresh thyme, sage, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until well coated, then spread into a single layer on the baking sheet.
  3. Remove the sausage from its casing and place in 1-inch pieces on the baking sheet. Find some open space to nestle the sausage into.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes, gently stirring the veggies and gnocchi halfway through.
  5. Remove from the oven and crumble feta or goat cheese over the top, then bake for 5 more minutes to warm the cheese.
  6. Drizzle with hot honey and garnish with fresh thyme leaves and lemon zest. Enjoy warm!
