Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb chicken-apple sausage
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 Honeycrisp apple
- 1 red onion
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Heat your oven precisely to 425°F, ensuring the rack sits in the center position for even cooking.
- Grab a large sheet pan and drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil across its surface, coating it completely.
- Slice 1 lb chicken-apple sausage into 1-inch uniform pieces, spreading them across the pan’s surface.
- Chop 2 medium sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes, scattering them evenly among the sausage pieces.
- Halve 1 lb Brussels sprouts, positioning them cut-side down to help them caramelize nicely.
- Thinly slice 1 red onion and dice 1 Honeycrisp apple, distributing them across the sheet pan.
- Mince 3 garlic cloves and sprinkle them over the ingredients for aromatic depth.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey across the entire pan to create a subtle sweetness.
- Season generously with salt and pepper, ensuring every ingredient gets a light coating.
- Toss everything gently to coat with oil, honey, and seasonings, maintaining a single layer.
- Slide the pan into the preheated 425°F oven and roast for 20 minutes total.
- Halfway through cooking, pull out the pan and quickly redistribute ingredients for even browning.
- Check that sausage is golden and vegetables are tender before removing from the oven.
- Serve immediately directly from the sheet pan for a rustic, no-fuss dinner presentation.
Notes
- Cutting vegetables and sausage into similar-sized pieces ensures even cooking and consistent texture throughout the sheet pan dinner.
- For a vegetarian version, swap out sausage with plant-based protein like tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas, which will absorb the delicious seasonings.
- Use a large sheet pan with plenty of surface area to prevent overcrowding, which helps ingredients caramelize instead of steaming.
- If your Brussels sprouts are large, slice them in half to help them cook faster and get crispy edges that add wonderful depth to the dish.
