Easy Sheet Pan Kielbasa with Gnocchi & Butternut Squash

Have you ever tried Kielbasa? Kielbasa is a Polish sausage with a savory, mild flavor of garlic, smoke, cloves, pimentos, and marjoram. It is DELICIOUS! The recipe below is a super easy way to make a quick weeknight meal with Kielbasa. Another one of my favorite Kielbasa recipes is this Kielbasa With Creamy Mustard Pasta. Add some Kielbasa to your next order and let us know what you think!

4 Black Dog Kielbasa Links, Thawed

2 C Butternut Squash, Cut Into 1" Cubes

1 Yellow Onion, Halved & Finely Sliced

1 Pkg Italian Gnocchi (Appx. 1 lb)

2-3 Tbsp Olive Oil

4-6 Pats Of Butter

1 1/2 Tsp Dry Sage

1 Tsp Dry Thyme

1/2 Tsp Black Pepper

Salt to taste

Note: Gnocchi is already salty, so use salt sparingly

Heat oven to 425 F. In a large bowl, combine butternut squash, onion, gnocchi, olive oil, spices and salt to taste (see note), and mix well.

Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper, and pour mixture evenly across the pan. Nestle Kielbasa links into the mix, spacing out evenly across the pan. Top exposed squash and gnocchi mix with pats of butter.

Cover the pan with foil and seal all edges tightly. Place in oven, and cook for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, and place back in the oven for another 15 minutes. Remove again, stir mixture and flip Kielbasa links over. Turn on broiler, and place sheet pan back in to brown for 5 mins. Flip links again and cook another 5 mins until well browned, squash is well roasted, and gnocchi are slightly crispy, but soft in the center.

Note: Cooking times may vary. Links are fully cooked with an internal temp of 165 F.

Remove from oven and serve immediately. Scoop squash and gnocchi mix onto a plate, and serve Kielbasa whole or sliced. Enjoy!
