Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 pound chicken apple sausage (5 links), sliced into rounds
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 small to medium red onion, diced into large chunks
16 oz Brussels sprouts, halved
5 cloves garlic, minced
Chopped parsley and green onion, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk together olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, Dijon mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar to make the marinade.
- In a mixing bowl, add sausage, sweet potatoes, onion, Brussels sprouts, and garlic. Toss with the marinade until evenly coated.
- Spread mixture in a single layer on the prepared pan, placing Brussels sprouts cut-side down.
- Roast 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway, until sausage is browned and sweet potatoes are tender.
- Remove from oven and garnish with parsley and green onion before serving.
Notes
- Peeling sweet potatoes is optional—skins add texture and nutrients.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; spread veggies in a single layer for maximum crispiness.
- Swap in turkey sausage, or cubed chicken breast if preferred.
- Use maple syrup instead of honey for a deeper fall flavor.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute with plant-based sausage, chickpeas, or tofu.
