A warm oven is welcome in the kitchen when the weather cools down, and one of the first seasonal dishes I crave is this rustic galette. Great for a picnic, family dinner, or lunch leftovers with a side arugula salad, this fall favorite can host any root vegetable you have on hand. Beets, carrots, turnips, rutabaga, and parsnips are all fine options.
Here, sweet potato, onion, and Tuscan kale join chicken sausage and are tucked into a whole grain crust that's equally tender and substantial, no forks required. Serve with a hunk of bleu cheese for a nice salty compliment.

- Unroll chilled pastry dough on lightly floured counter. Pile roasted vegetables and chicken sausage mixture in the center, leaving a 2" uncovered edge all around. Sprinkle with cheese.
- Gently fold edges of crust up and over contents, leaving center open. Transfer galette to a baking sheet covered with parchment & bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the crust is crispy golden brown.
