Preheat oven to 425°F. To make the sauce, combine ½ cup olive oil, ½ cup maple syrup, 2 tbsp ginger, 2 tbsp fresh thyme, and 1 tsp salt in a small bowl and whisk well.
Add sweet potatoes to a large bowl and pour ⅓ of your sauce over the potatoes. Toss until fully coated then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and add onions and squash to the baking sheet then pour half of the remaining sauce over the veggies and toss well. Flip sweet potatoes and return to oven for 20 minutes longer.
While veggies are cooking, add 1 tbsp olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Remove raw sausage from casing and break into bite-sized pieces like small meatballs. Brown meat on all sides then remove from pan and set aside.
Remove veggies from oven, add in sausage and flip veggies. Return to oven for the final 10 minutes of cooking for a total of 50 minutes.
Transfer to serving dish and drizzle remaining sauce over the top before serving.
