Despite the name, this one does have meat! However, the veggies are inarguably the star of this dish. It is so good. There’ll be leftovers so this would make a great lunch for the entire week.
Ingredients:
12 ounce bag of green beans (steam in bag, Walmart)
12 ounce bag of broccoli and cauliflower (steam in bag, Walmart)
1 medium sized squash
3 sweet potatoes
8 ounce container of spinach
4 chicken sausage links
Crumbled goat cheese to sprinkle on top
Seasoning: lemon pepper, ground rosemary, and Italian seasoning
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Slice three sweet potatoes (see picture above for how I sliced mine).
Toss with 4 tablespoons of olive oil and ground cinnamon.
Cook sweet potatoes for 40-50 minutes. Check periodically and spray them with extra virgin olive oil spray or non-stick canola oil midway through cooking to keep them from getting dry.
Slice squash and toss in one tablespoon of olive oil (see picture for how I sliced mine).
Season squash with lemon pepper, ground rosemary, and Italian seasoning.
Put squash in the oven at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
Microwave broccoli and cauliflower according to package instructions.
Microwave green beans according to package instructions.
Season the broccoli, cauliflower, and green beans with the same seasonings used for the squash and add them to the oven on top of the squash to let them finish cooking. The squash had been cooking for ~13 minutes by this time.
Let the vegetables cook for another 10-15 minutes.
While your veggies are in the oven, cook your spinach on medium heat until they wilt (~2-3 minutes). Chop sausage links and add them to the cooked spinach and let cook at medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Once everything is done cooking, assemble.
If you don’t care about presentation, then you can just throw a little bit of everything in the bowl, add some goat cheese on top and enjoy.
If you want to capture this lovely meal for Instagram, then do this: Add your broccoli, cauliflower, and squash first, add sweet potatoes around the rim. Put your sausage and spinach on top and sprinkle on some goat cheese.
You’ve practiced incredible restraint so far…enjoy!
